There's been plenty of lawsuits involving President Donald Trump's actions in the month he's been in office. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, delivered a victory for the president and his administration on Thursday. In response to the Trump administration looking to seriously decrease the government workforce, government employee unions brought a lawsuit, though they weren't met with the ruling they hoped for..
Judge Cooper ruled that the unions must bring their challenge over the administration's actions before the the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), as federal law mandates.

Elon Musk has already reacted to the news of Cooper's ruling on X. "Shifting people from low to negative productivity jobs in the government sector to high productivity roles in the commercial sector will greatly improve the average standard of living,"..
Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been working to get to the bottom of government waste and fraud.

The plan for layoffs comes as the Trump administration offered a buyout program, which ended two weeks ago, on February 6. Federal workers who didn't want to return to working from an office, five years after COVID, were given a "generous payout of eight months," as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared. According to reporting from NewsNation last week, about 77,000 workers accepted the buyout.
Judge Cooper's decision comes after Axios lamented the plight of federal workers and their fears about layoffs just the day before, as Matt covered earlier on Thursday.
Stephen Miller, who has worked at the White House for both of Trump's terms and currently serves as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, also had a memorable exchange with CNN this week about the layoffs.
Code. Learn how to do it.
Why don’t we see all these tears and all these heartache when non-Government employees get laid off? What makes Feddies so much more important than non-governmental workers?
The thing is, ya gotta realize something about Elon Musk: He's an android. He wields the truth like a knife because to him, truth is truth.
No to coding.
Put all those govt parasites to work on farms to take the place of the illegals that will be leaving.
Maybe they can learn how to work for a living without their starbucks latte.
Learn how to code!
There you go, problem solved.

Which is a three member board, which presently has a vacancy. Trump gets to fill that vacancy, and already appointed one member in his first term.

So it’s a tie if the Trump appointee agrees with President Trump, and the other one disagrees; then nothing stops the layoffs.
Checkmate 😁
Landing a federal government job is like winning the lotto. It was pretty much a guaranteed ticket to the good life.
I like the termination notices. “You aren’t needed. Get out.”
Lot of thumb-sucking in DC now.
