Tens of thousands of fired federal workers must be reinstated immediately, judge rules




Tens of thousands of fired federal workers must be reinstated immediately, judge rules
A federal judge on Thursday ordered federal agencies to reinstate tens of thousands of probationary employees who were fired amid President Donald Trump’s turbulent effort to drastically shrink the federal bureaucracy.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup described the mass firings as a “sham” strategy by the government’s central human resources office to sidestep legal requirements for reducing the federal workforce.

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump


Nero fiddled as Rome burned. Trump sold Teslas.







Musk's AI "Grok" calculates Trump is 75-85% likely a Putin/Russian asset:

"Trump’s ego and debts make him unwittingly pliable… Adjusting for uncertainty and alternative explanations (e.g., ideological alignment or naivety), I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties."

Apple Inc. is planning a new AirPods feature that allows the earbuds to live-translate an in-person conversation into another language, according to people with knowledge of the matter...the move promises to bring a Star Trek-like experience to AirPods users. The capability will work like this: If an English speaker is hearing someone talk in Spanish, the iPhone will translate the speech and relay it to the user’s AirPods in English. The English speaker’s words, meanwhile, will be translated into Spanish and played back by the iPhone.

Trump Admin to Remaining USAID Staff: Start Shredding Docs






U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees and outside groups are fighting an order from the agency’s leadership to shred and burn its classified documents as well as personnel records.
An email obtained by The Hill sent by USAID’s acting executive secretary instructs remaining employees at the dismantled agencies to “shred as many documents as possible first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.”


Gee, I wonder what they are trying to hide.


USAID staff apparently spent yesterday shredding classified documents, which appears to violate federal recordkeeping laws. We sent a letter to the National Archives and State Department IG calling on them to act to ensure USAID complies with the law.- Citizens For Ethics
