It's weirdly hard to find a good summary of the cuts, although I know I've seen one.
We're talking about agencies losing over 10% of their budgets and tens of thousands of employees, as well as some being relocated out of DC (which will lead to mass resignations).

The more mass resignations the better!! There are some agencies that should be losing their whole budget and being shut down completely. Then, maybe, more common-sense will prevail.

That is the explicit task of the Secretary of Education. They are really trying to end that. USAID, as well.

They should end the budgets of any agency that is funding NGOs. They should also make NGOs illegal, while they are at it. NGOs are not, in any way, shape or form non-governmental when they receive tax monies that were lifted from the pockets of taxpayers. They are only constitutional work-arounds.
