Summary

The Trump administration is conducting mass firings of federal employees, citing ā€œpoor performanceā€ and ā€œmisalignment with needs.ā€

Critics, including former officials and labor attorneys, argue the dismissals are unlawful and could result in significant financial liabilities for the government.

A federal judge denied unionsā€™ attempts to block the firings. Many affected employees claim strong performance records and face severe personal and financial consequences.

The firings, linked Elon Musk, have sparked calls for congressional intervention over concerns of political motivations and government dysfunction.

    could

    Thatā€™s the key word. Or it could be swept aside like all of your other right heā€™s taking away with permission from Congress and the courts.

    The system is broken. And now itā€™s being dismantled. Stop relying on it to save you. It wonā€™t save you. Keep trying, by all means, but itā€™s time for other plans. Organize. Protest. Strike. Resist.
