The judge's ruling highlighted that OPM "does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees at another agency." This decision has provided temporary relief to the coalition of labor unions and organizations that sued to stop the administration's extensive cuts to the federal workforce.

Pretty sure tRumps Project 2025 masters won't tolerate this.

When fElon or FDT says, "What are you going to do about it?" and Congress just shrugs, and SCOTUS stays quiet ... it will all be over, irreparable and all the money will be gone.

We are watching, among other things, a heist.

@#2 ... The judicial branch is the only row this ship has remaining, so far. ...

The Republican-controlled Congress has pretty much just sat on its thumb.

So the question seems to become ...

How much damage can apparent co-President Musk do to the Country before the Judicial branch can act?
