I live in the DMV (gov job). I have 15 yrs employed and they just fired the head of our org. A woman. My job is critical (meaning they need me) and I'm still scared. I'm♿and live alone. I can't afford to be fired for unlawful reasons. I'd sue if they did it. (welcome to the DMV)
Civil Service is a patriotic profession. My family going back to World War II have dedicated their lives to being public servants. It’s rewarding in so many ways to know you are making a difference. Don’t give up because there’s a whole lot of crazy now.
Do you know anyone you can stay with? Some employees who've been forced out may be motivated to make some money by renting out a room if you know someone you could try that with for the first month?
but i'm gonna at least make them fire me. i can take the L on this and survive, even if it'll be emotionally devastating to lose an opportunity to start a real career

But, that being said, have an Option B.
With the caveat that even DOGE doesn't know what they're doing at this point
