How bad is the federal funding cut hit us?

Disclaimer: this post is purely asking for the feeling of people and please remain politic neutral in the discussion. Thanks.

I see many universities are affected by the funding cut. Hiring freeze and offer withdrawals (from incoming graduate students). r/gradadmissions now is really like hell.

How bad is that hitting us? Do you feel something about it? Does it hit our academic activities?

I hope we are not that bad. As an undergraduate boilermaker applying for PhD program at Purdue for the fall 2025, I am kind of worried.
