Summary

The Trump administration is conducting mass firings of federal employees, citing “poor performance” and “misalignment with needs.”

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 unions’ 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.

      Yeah but I imagine the tax rate is how we got out of the gilded age to begin with. We’d need sane people to hold power for longer than just 4 years, though.
