The Fed simply manages the money supply via the rediscount rate and member bank reserve requirements. All the Fed Governors are appointed by a President and confirmed by the Senate. It doesn't control the economy.

More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers out of work as auto industry cuts orders because of tariffs
Cleveland-Cliffs, the largest iron ore operator in Minnesota, is idling operations in Hibbing and Virginia.
Tariffs have thrown the auto industry into disarray, and workers on the Iron Range are paying the price.
Iβve been in touch with the union to make sure that laid-off workers are getting connected to the resources they need.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
Itβs just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
