but many agencies haven't even begun, and the administration says it will cut 300,000 jobs by December 31st. So, it's anyone's guess as to what comes next. 🤷

While the president's budget zeroed out funding for my office, the house restored most of it. The reduction in force or the layoffs are supposed to be completed by 9/30,

You lack the confidence of the people to lead

An MSPB admin judge has denied class certification in an appeal challenging probationary employee terminations at the Dept of Energy, citing evidence that the agency had made employees whole and that 302/555 affected employees took the DRP. Order here: federalworkerrights.com/wp-content/u...

I'd love it if you would quit to allow someone to lead who will actually fight for us

Some federal workers are hoping the layoffs will "go away" in light of the lawsuit that has resulted in an injunction so far, but I am not that naive

Eff @fetterman.senate.gov

The court found that the administration’s plans lacked congressional approval and could not move forward while the order is in effect. There are ongoing appeals, but for now, all major workforce reductions at USDA remain on hold by court order.

This preliminary injunction specifically prohibits the USDA from issuing new reduction-in-force notices, finalizing separations, or transferring functions and programs as part of the executive order driving these cuts.

According to AI:
No, the USDA is not currently authorized to proceed with a reduction in force. As of late May 2025, a federal judge in the Northern District of California has extended a court order blocking the USDA and other federal agencies from implementing the RIF plans.

For those of you following along at home, the federal layoffs have been paused indefinitely pending litigation, leaving people like me very much in limbo

You became irrelevant long ago

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact:

Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.

It's Robin Hood in reverse.

What? Incoherent, resign.

You should resign,you facilitated this mess when you caved on the shutdown

Oof, sorry to hear this

Agencies that were on the cusp of implementing RIFs, such as the Interior Department, have put those plans on ice at least until the restraining order is set to expire after May 23

Retire old man

2 week temporary restraining order and the government must produce all of it RIF plans in discovery

FLASH: Federal judge blocks RIFs/Trump administration reorganization plans for 20 federal agencies. SF-based Judge Susan Illston (Clinton) says they appear to exceed executive branch authority to implement without Congressional approval. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal layoffs are paused!

Here is a specific thing you can do to fight Trump's politicization of public services Plus: what I wrote in Science about the revised Schedule F

Despicable

It's been crickets at my agency about the layoffs that are coming to federal workers, and people are just trudging right along. Seems so pointless to pretend.

The timeline for federal layoffs is looking like a June or August separation date

Public can comment on this rule change until May 23, 2025- www.regulations.gov/docket/OPM-2... /document

This rule change has the potential to reclassify anyone that is a supervisor, reviews grants, serves on grant review panels, or is otherwise policy influencing.

DOGE Was Bad. Schedule F Will Be Worse. An executive order will convert 50,000 government employees into de facto political appointees who serve only at the president’s pleasure.

Schedule F will be worse than DOGE www.yahoo.com/news/doge-ba...
