I’m so sorry to the federal workers who will be affected by this. You deserve better than this.

Supreme Court Clears Way for Mass Firings at Federal Agencies
The justices announced they were not ruling on the legality of the specific downsizing plans but they allowed the Trump administration to proceed for now with its restructuring efforts.

Trump can proceed with his RIFs and then the Court will consider if the act of the RIFs is constitutional. During this period of consideration, nobody is paying Feds who are kicked to the curb.

These actions are allowed to proceed until actual, valid harm is identified at the agency level, unfortunately.

The court is basically saying that Trump has to the executive power to execute his EO and that the court is not opining on the legality of the reorg plans, which include RIFs because they did not have those plans to review. Thus, the court is not opining on whether the plans and the execution of those plans are being done under the law since all they had to go on was the EO. So all this does is set the stage for more lawsuits and in the meantime, Trump has a blank check to do whatever the hell he wants and fire the entire fed govt if he wants to. It’s sad. I feel like we were just put infront of the firing squad but it was a weak case to begin with.

Well, at this point even authorization for mass shootings wouldn't seem odd so administration can proceed with its 'restructuring efforts'.

So the RIFs will happen and when the appeals are over and the far right SCOTUS rules everything is legal thousands will have been laid off for years.

Good luck on Friday fellow Feds.

No, as long as the current CR is in effect, RIFs are unlawful and will be enjoined immediately. Courts are acting quickly with all of these actions.

No one will be fired or laid off per this EO, until Congress passes legislation for it.

And Congress isn't going to shrink the federal government. Camp Mystic is yet more data proving the point.

100,000+ Feds fired/RIFed this year would beg to differ with you. And if you think Trump will get off his golf course long enough to tell his DOGE minions they made mistakes in cutting federal workers, I have a Trump tower building to sell you….

District court ordered injunctions are being abused the the SC is pushing back. It was 8 to 1.
