Summary

Twenty Democratic-leaning state attorneys general sued the Trump administration over mass firings of federal employees, alleging violations of federal regulations requiring 60-day advance notice.

The lawsuit claims the abrupt terminations have caused financial hardship for workers and strained state resources.

The AGs demand a halt to the layoffs, reinstatement of affected employees, and future compliance with labor laws.

DOGE, led by Elon Musk, has faced backlash for abruptly and haphazardly firings, with some rehiring efforts amid bipartisan calls to slow down cost-cutting measures.

    Good, but man did that take a long time. Maybe a little overtime is warranted when we’re sliding toward fascism.

    Fucking dipshits. Perhaps, when breaking into the govt, start fixing shit. Eliminate the IRS’ cozy relationship tax/ accounting software. Make taxes coherent and simple. Declassify cannabis. A fourth grader could write a popular platform around this.

    I’m reminded of when the Scientologists infiltrated the IRS. Fuckers did nothing helpful.

      It’s not about a popular platform. It’s about enriching themselves. They don’t give a fuck about democracy or populism. These demons think they are better than everyone else and that they should rule.

    This implies that fElon might not know what the fuck he’s even doing? Are you saying waving around some performative chainsaw isn’t the entire job?

      Easy to say, if you are not among the children, elderly, and poor suffering and dying. The billionaires and fascists are just tearing down anything that gets in the way of their path to unregulated profit, and damn the consequences. No I want to build a decent world, not burn it down.

        You need a good foundation to build on. And the current state of your country isn’t it. Not even close, and hasn’t been for decades.

        I want a better world too. I mean, who doesn’t? Ideally, a world where your government isn’t in the axis of evil.
