The decision further clears the way for #Trump to re-fire probationary employees. Those are typically #FederalWorkers in their 1st or 2nd year on the job, or who have been recently promoted.
In a 2-to-1 decision, the appeals court said the Trump admin was likely to succeed in showing that the lower court lacked #jurisdiction in the case brought by 19 states & DC. The court did not rule on whether the firings were #lawful.
#4thCircuit clears the way for #Trump to fire #FederalWorkers again
In a win for Trump, a panel of judges on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated a lower court ruling ordering 20 #FederalAgencies to reinstate tens of thousands of employees they had fired.

These intimate details about the personal lives of people who live in the #UnitedStates are held in disconnected #data systems across the federal govt—some at #Treasury, some at the #SocialSecurity Admin & some at the Dept of #Education, among other agencies.
The #Trump admin is now trying to connect the dots of that disparate #information.
Well, this is, terrifying
#Trump Wants to Merge Government #Data. Here Are 314 Things It Might Know About You.
The federal govt knows your mother’s maiden name & your bank account number. The student debt you hold. Your disability status. The company that employs you & the wages you earn there. And that’s just a start.

The New York Times · How Musk and Trump Are Working to Consolidate Government Data About You
#SCOTUS on Tues blocked a ruling from a federal judge in California that had ordered the #Trump admin to rehire 16k of fired #FederalWorkers who had been on probationary status.
The court’s brief order said the nonprofit groups that had sued to challenge the dismissals had not suffered the sort of injury that gave them standing to sue.

When #TrumpCoup has his “big #militaryparade” in #Washington in #June, wouldn’t it be nice if some of those in the parade managed to smuggle some ammo into the parade with them?
One way to bring down a tyrant.
Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday. Because of course he did. Fancies himself an autocrat dictator he does. Loves Putin, Kim, Orban and wants to be like them. Pathetic, power-hungry old white man. Fate should take him soon, after all… he’s old, fat, poorly fed and stays up all night rage-posting. #Coup #TrumpCoup #AmericanCoup #fascism #politics #USPol #USPolitics #Republicans

Now, I'm not a fan of his, but at the rate that even fellow Americans are being converted in Latin-American style #LosDesaparecidos 1)... well, he has a point making a historical comparison with Nazi occupied #France

And you are right!
" Donald Trump is a reign of lawlessness," she said, accusing Trump of interfering with already-approved congressional
funding and pointing to his "repeated resistance to obeying judicial orders," a "disregard for civil rights" and "oppressing the legal profession."
"
Singling out specific law firms for punitive actions because they representpeople and causes he doesn't like — that's the whim of the dictator,"
