The White House remained steadfast in its DOGE agenda after 20 Democratic state attorneys general collaborated to file a lawsuit Friday challenging the legality of the administration’s planned cuts to the federal workforce.
"The Democrats have no plan on how to recover from their embarrassing loss, and it shows," White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said Monday.
"Instead of working to become a party that focuses on the will of the people, they are hell-bent on keeping their heads in the sand and gaslighting on the widely supported mission of DOGE."
Maryland’s top lawman led 19 other states in asking a federal court to halt what Attorney General Anthony Brown called illegal mass layoffs of federal probationary employees. His office also called for those already let go to have their jobs reinstated.
The lawsuit listed each of Trump’s top 21 acting or confirmed cabinet officials as defendants in their official capacity, and alleged the administration made "no secret of their contempt for the roughly 2 million committed professionals who form the federal civil service."
"Nor have they disguised their plans to terminate vast numbers of civil servants, starting with tens of thousands of probationary employees," the suit read.
Fields, a spokesman for President Donald Trump, said that slashing waste, fraud and abuse and "becoming better stewards of the American taxpayer’s hard-earned dollars" might "be a crime to Democrats."
"But, it’s not a crime in a court of law," Fields said.
Brown said in a statement that Trump’s "mass firings" have thrown thousands of Marylanders and others who work for the government into "financial insecurity."

The guilty ones start barking.
Anthony Brown - never mind
Living in MD I can testify the majority of government workers are literally lazy, entitled rabid leftist hacks who think they are enlightened and have the right to rule the government.
They needed fired.
bttt
I heard the Maryland RAT gubna desires a top spot by talking globally. Just a rumor.
Ya, he has delusions of grandeur. I believe he will fold like a cheap suit if he ever gets and serious national attention though. He can parrot words but can’t think his way out of a paper bag politically as he is all leftist claptrap.

Perfect time for a “no standing” ruling.
if they have their heads in the sand it’s not because they can’t help it.
Their heads are somewhere and I don’t think it’s in the sand.
How do they even have standing to sue?
How can they demonstrate any harm?
Prediction: State AGs have no standing on fed lay offs. If so, they could sue any private sector company that lays off workers. AGs can’t prove damage.
i don’t see how State AGs have any standing to order the FedGov Executive Branch how to treat PROVISIONAL hires ...
Democrats always have standing.
Republicans never have standing.
APPARENTLY, PROBATION LASTS 2 YEARS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
It's amazing to me how anyone claiming even a modicum of rationality could ever make that kind of statement with a straight face. "Two million" employees?
Democrats have always secretly believed an attack on their gargantuan control machine would be futile as it was always thought to be simply "too big to fail".
What they never saw coming was the combination of Trump, and a new paradigm called AI.
They’re up there where the air is bare.
The next step is to use AI to see how much grift money goes to the judges.
