Nothing that spends a lot of money on the scale of the Fed. Just low cost culture war stuff.

That's what gets attention in the media, but the Trump administration has also been axing a lot of "traditional" programs.
I used to work a defense contractor and still have some friends in that industry. One of them told me their project (related to some armored vehicle) was unceremoniously killed overnight a few months ago. As best they can tell it had nothing to do with cost, schedule, missed deliveries, etc -- it was just someone in the administration deciding they don't want to keep paying for it. They work for a very large contractor and apparently this happened to a whole bunch of projects / teams there.
