	Description:		Whether a "chainsaw," per Elon Musk, or "scalpel," as President Trump has said — the Trump administration is making deep cuts to the federal government within its first 100 days. And Trump has appointed personal allies with little experience in government to key cabinet positions. For the civil servants working to enact the missions of these government agencies, that's often meant another word: "chaos." NPR correspondents Tom Bowman, Michele Kelemen and Selena Simmons-Duffin recap what they are hearing from federal workers at the Departments of Defense, State, and Health and Human Services.
