Trump administration can continue mass firings of federal workers, US judge rules

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-can-continue-mass-firings-federal-workers-us-judge-rules-2025-02-20/

Feb 20 (Reuters) - The Trump administration can for now continue its mass firings of federal employees, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, rejecting a bid by a group of labor unions to halt President Donald Trump’s dramatic downsizing of the roughly 2.3 million-strong federal workforce.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C. federal court is temporary while the litigation plays out. But it is a win for the Trump administration as it seeks to purge the federal workforce and slash what it deems wasteful and fraudulent government spending.

The National Treasury Employees Union and four other unions sued last week to block the administration from firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and granting buyouts to employees who quit voluntarily.

Trump Can Continue Mass Firings of Federal Workers, US Judge Rules

The Trump administration can for now continue its mass firings of federal employees, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, rejecting a bid by a group of labor unions to halt President Donald Trump’s dramatic downsizing of the roughly 2.3 million-strong federal workforce.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C. federal court is temporary while the litigation plays out. But it is a win for the Trump administration as it seeks to purge the federal workforce and slash what it deems wasteful and fraudulent government spending.

The National Treasury Employees Union and four other unions sued last week to block the administration from firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and granting buyouts to employees who quit voluntarily.

The unions are seeking to block eight agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Department of Veterans Affairs from implementing mass layoffs.

Cooper on Thursday said he likely lacks the power to hear the case, and that the unions instead must file complaints with a federal labor board that hears disputes between unions and federal agencies.

Trump has tapped Tesla CEO Elon Musk to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which has swept through federal agencies slashing thousands of jobs and dismantling federal programs since Trump became president last month and put Musk in charge of rooting out what he deems wasteful spending as part of Trump's dramatic overhaul of government. Trump also ordered federal agencies to work closely with DOGE to identify federal employees who could be laid off.

Termination emails were sent last week to workers across the federal government, mostly recently hired employees still on probation, at agencies such as the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the General Services Administration, and others.

The plaintiffs, which include the United Auto Workers, the National Treasury Employees Union, and the National Federation of Federal Employees, said in their lawsuit that White House efforts, including through DOGE, to shrink the federal workforce violate separation of powers principles by undermining Congress' authority to fund federal agencies.

The unions said that unless the court intervenes, they will be irreparably harmed by lost revenue from dues-paying members who were either fired or retired early to take buyouts.

Most civil service employees can be fired legally only for bad performance or misconduct, and they have a host of due process and appeal rights if they are let go arbitrarily. The probationary employees primarily targeted in last week's wave have fewer legal protections.

A judge overseeing a similar case in Boston federal court allowed the buyouts to move forward in a ruling on February 12, finding labor unions that filed the case did not have legal standing to bring the lawsuit because they had not shown how they would be harmed by the plan.

The window to accept buyouts has now closed, and about 75,000 workers took up the administration's offer, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. That represents about 3% of the total federal workforce.

The unions are asking the judge to declare the firings and buyouts illegal and block the government from firing more employees or offering another round of buyouts.

In a Monday court filing, the government said the unions did not have a right to sue because they would not be harmed by the firings and buyouts. Granting the unions' request would also inappropriately interfere with the president's efforts to streamline the federal workforce, the government argued.

More than 70 lawsuits have been filed seeking to block Trump's efforts to remake the federal workforce, clamp down on immigration and roll back transgender rights.

The results have so far been mixed, but judges have blocked some aspects of Trump's marquee policies, including his bid to end automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S.

IRS Fires 6,000 Workers as Trump Slashes Government

https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/irs-fire-doge/2025/02/20/id/1199826/

Thursday, 20 February 2025 11:30 AM EST

An executive at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service told staffers Thursday about 6,000 employees would be fired, a person familiar with the matter said, in a move that would eliminate roughly 6% of the agency's workforce in the midst of the critical tax-filing season.

The cuts are part of President Donald Trump's radical downsizing effort that has targeted bank regulators, forest workers, rocket scientists and tens of thousands of other government employees. The effort is being led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, Trump's biggest campaign donor.

The layoffs at the IRS largely target workers at the agency who were hired as part of an expansion under former Democratic President Joe Biden, who had sought to expand enforcement efforts on wealthy taxpayers. The agency now employs roughly 100,000 people, up from 80,000 when he took office.

Independent budget analysts estimate the expansion could boost government revenues and help narrow trillion-dollar budget deficits. Trump's Republicans say the expansion would lead to more harassment of ordinary American taxpayers.

The workers being cut are in their probationary period and enjoy fewer protections than career employees.

The IRS has taken a more careful approach to downsizing than other agencies given that it is in the middle of its busiest period, with the April 15 tax filing deadline just two months away.

The 2025 tax filing season opened on January 27, with the IRS expecting over 140 million individual tax year 2024 returns by the federal filing deadline.

The dismissals target revenue agents, customer-service workers, specialized auditors and IT specialists across all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., according to people familiar with the matter.

The IRS will retain several thousand probationary employees deemed critical for processing tax returns, including those involved in supporting and advocating for taxpayers, one source said.

The White House has not said how many of the nation's 2.3 million civil-service workers it wants to fire and has given no numbers on the mass layoffs. Roughly 75,000 took a buyout offer last week.

The campaign has delighted Republicans for culling a federal workforce they view as bloated, corrupt and insufficiently loyal to Trump, while also taking aim at government agencies that regulate big business and collect taxes - including those that oversee Musk's companies SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink.

Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team has also canceled contracts worth about $8.5 billion involving foreign aid, diversity training and other initiatives opposed by Trump. Both men have set a goal of cutting at least $1 trillion from the $6.7 trillion federal budget, though Trump has said he will not touch popular benefit programs that make up roughly one-third of that total.

Democrat critics say Trump is exceeding his constitutional authority and hacking away at popular and critical government programs at the expense of legions of middle-class families.

Trump Admin to Press Ahead on Amazon, Meta Antitrust Cases

https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/trump-amazon-meta/2025/02/20/id/1199862/

Thursday, 20 February 2025 02:58 PM EST

The Trump administration will press on with its antitrust cases against Amazon and Meta, a top official said Thursday, vowing to maintain pressure on Big Tech's market dominance.

In an interview with FOX Business, newly appointed Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Andrew Ferguson confirmed that ongoing cases against Amazon and Meta would proceed, emphasizing his commitment to "holding Big Tech's feet to the fire."

Questions lingered on whether the Trump presidency would continue with the cases, given the new proximity between President Donald Trump and tech bosses.

Since Trump's election victory in November, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has moved aggressively to demonstrate political alignment with the White House, while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos visited the president during the transition period.

Both were given prominent roles during the president's inauguration ceremony.

The Biden administration's FTC Chair Lina Khan faced bitter criticism from Silicon Valley over what some viewed as aggressive blocking of acquisitions by major tech companies.

"What companies can expect over the next couple of years is vigorous antitrust enforcement," Ferguson said, adding that the agency would strictly follow "the law, not my preferences."

Ferguson on Thursday also launched a public inquiry into how tech platforms restrict user access based on speech content or affiliations.

This would help address the frequent complaint of Republicans that major tech platforms censor conservative content.

The inquiry "marks an important step forward in restoring free speech and making sure Americans no longer suffer under the tyranny of Big Tech - permanently," he wrote on X, the social media site owned by top Trump advisor and billionaire Elon Musk.

The Federal Trade Commission currently shares antitrust enforcement with the Department of Justice, which has two cases against Google and one against Apple.

The DOJ's antitrust division secured a major victory against Google last year and to resolve that case, prosecutors are seeking to force Google to divest its market-leading Chrome browser.

Gail Slater, Trump's nominee to head the DOJ's antitrust division, has indicated that she will continue the cases against Google and Apple.

The FTC's case against Meta is scheduled for trial on April 14 in federal court in Washington. The Amazon case will be heard in October 2026 in Seattle.

Ferguson also addressed Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides liability protection to online platforms, calling it "in need of very serious reform."

While tech companies strongly defend Section 230, public concern about social media's harmful effects has led to increased scrutiny of the law's broad protections.

Ferguson suggested that a Supreme Court decision or congressional action might be needed to modify the law's scope.

Mexico President: US Must Not Launch Invasion Over Cartels

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/mexico-claudia-sheinbaum-drug-cartels/2025/02/20/id/1199868/

Thursday, 20 February 2025 03:34 PM EST

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum warned the Trump administration on Thursday that her country will not tolerate an invasion of its national sovereignty to target drug cartels.

"This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty," Sheinbaum said in response to the Trump administration's formal designation of eight cartels as terrorist organizations, CBS News reported. "With Mexico, it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion."

Mexico's two main drug cartels, Jalisco New Generation and Sinaloa, were included in the terrorist declaration.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that the cartels "constitute a national-security threat beyond that posed by traditional organized crime," but the move to designate them as terrorist organizations opens the door for potential military action.

Elon Musk, who leads Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, posted on X, which he owns, that the move makes the cartels "eligible for drone strikes."

Experts said that taking military action, either by bombing or invading Mexico, appears unlikely.

In recent days, the administration has increased the use of drones to seek Mexican fentanyl labs.

The drones are part of a covert program started during the Biden administration. The effort was not disclosed until this week.

The CIA has not been authorized to use drones to carry out strikes against the cartels, and information that is being gathered is reportedly being shared with Mexico.

Sheinbaum said Mexico plans to follow through on her promise of expanding legal action against U.S. gun manufacturers if the Trump administration declared the cartels as terrorist groups.

Mexico's government claims gun manufacturers are negligent by selling weapons that end up being used by drug traffickers. The country has filed a $10 billion lawsuit in the U.S. against gun manufacturers and vendors.

Sheinbaum said the lawsuit could be expanded to allege that gun manufacturers are complicit with terrorist groups.

According to a CBS News investigation, up to a half-million firearms are smuggled into Mexico annually. Another report determined that cartel gunrunners pay Americans to buy weapons all over the U.S., including Alaska, and brokers and couriers then ship the weapons across the border.

Sheinbaum has also made a cash offer to encourage people to leave guns at designated drop-off points, including at churches.

She earlier this month accused the U.S. of slandering her government by claiming it is allied with drug cartels.

"If there is such an alliance anywhere, it is in the U.S. gun shops that sell high-powered weapons to these criminal groups," she said.

Over 500 COVID Studies Retracted For "Unreliable" Information

Retractions are driven by pressure to produce studies quickly, watchdog co-founder says

More than 500 studies on COVID-19 have been withdrawn due to “bias,” “unreliable” information, or unspecified reasons, a blog that tracks retracted documents, found.

Retraction Watch co-founder Ivan Oransky told The College Fix via phone interview one reason for the high number of retractions is the academic system’s incentive structure which pressures researchers to rapidly produce studies and get them peer reviewed as quickly as possible.

“Why do they feel the need to rush papers through? Well, it’s because that’s how they get or keep their jobs, that’s how they get grants, everything is based on that,” he said.

“When you know that your whole career depends on publishing papers in particular journals, you’re going to do what you have to do to publish those papers. Most of the time that means you work hard, you hire the smart grad students and postdocs,” he said.

Oransky also said researchers may feel “too desperate” or that “incentives are so stark” that there’s no “humanly possible way” to do it. “So you start engaging in misconduct,” he said.

The articles in the list pertain to risk factors related to COVID-19 vaccines and various alternative treatments for the disease.

“It’s really a range of everything from essays to big clinical trials,” he said.

Oransky pointed The Fix to one of his research letters examining the differences between retractions of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 related research papers.

The results showed that papers on COVID-19 had a higher likelihood of being retracted or withdrawn within the first six months of publication and that they were more likely removed “without detailed explanation or for non-misconduct-related concerns.”

He said retracting papers is not necessarily a bad thing, as it can correct information that was potentially wrong or misleading. Ensuring clear and concise reasoning for retractions is crucial, he told The Fix.

reeeee article from Brady

Brady Condemns Trump Administration’s Abrupt Firing of Longtime ATF Chief Counsel Pamela Hicks

The disturbing removal is the latest sign of the Trump administration implementing its extremist agenda to empower the gun lobby and gut our nation’s most basic efforts to prevent gun violence.

Washington, D.C., February 20, 2025 — Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired Pamela Hicks, the Chief Counsel of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), and had Hicks escorted out of the ATF’s D.C. Building. Hicks, a 23-year veteran attorney at the Department of Justice, served as chief counsel for three years, leading the agency’s efforts to enforce existing gun laws and regulations.

How the fashion industry is adapting to Trump 2.0 - The Spectator 1/4

On the night of the inauguration, as revelers filed into the Commander-in-Chief Ball to await the arrival of the new president of the United States, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was buzzing.

Donning a ballgown and speaking on air with Sean Hannity, she marveled at the elegance of Melania Trump.

“She is an icon. And it’s about time America — you know the magazines, the designers — recognize she is one of the most magnificent first ladies,” Pirro said.

“She’s so far past Jackie O at this point. We’ve got four years of spectacular elegance, class and a real love for fashion.”

In 2025, with Donald Trump storming back to the White House with the second most votes in US history, remaking American politics and culture in his image, Pirro’s demand that the fashion industry recognize the Trumps’ return has a better chance of success than ever.

The ground is fertile for a MAGA takeover of American culture, a consequence of the great normalization of Trump. Having beaten two impeachments, a raft of criminal convictions and opposition from America’s mightiest institutions, Trump has proven himself to be truly ineradicable.

Add to that zeitgeist cocktail the passage of time: younger Americans who came of age in the era of Trump no longer see him as a dangerous outlier. To many of them, he’s an icon of the counterculture, a raffish meme in the streaming age.

“Trump is cool now,” one editor of a leading fashion magazine lamented to me, having been granted anonymity to bitch freely. “It doesn’t mean that I like Trump. It does mean that I don’t think that Melania is evil. But Trump is cool.

“MAGA is the culture right now,” this person added. “It’s grotesque. But it’s un-ignorable.”

During this year’s inauguration, the Trumps were treated to more generous coverage from the fashion world than ever before. Vogue posted glamorous photos on its Instagram and coveredthe fashion online. Of Melania’s appearance at the inaugural ball, the New York Times’s veteran fashion critic Vanessa Friedman wrote that her gown “elegantly called to mind the Parthenon, Erté and a question mark, all at once.” Ivanka, meanwhile, “channeled Audrey Hepburn” in Givenchy. “She looked lovely, in a cosplay kind of way,” Friedman wrote (she couldn’t resist a few jabs). “Now that’s what I call First Lady Fabulous!” gushed British high-society magazine Tatler. “Melania Trump leads the pack of best-dressed guests at President DonaldTrump’s inauguration.”

Perhaps most notably, Kim Kardashian approvingly posted a photo of Melania at her husband’s swearing-in ceremony — the first lady donned a ludicrously wide-brimmed hat and austere suit — to her 358 million Instagram followers. The Guardian had described her ensemble as “authoritarian chic.”

Much has changed since 2017, when fashion labels and publishers boycotted the new administration, denying Melania and Ivanka in particular the kind of hagiographic magazine coverage and attention from major label designers typically afforded to members of the first family.

The cultural boycott was particularly stark given the made-for-magazines life and looks of Trump’s wife and daughter, and his own symbiotic relationship with the media. It sparked the wrath of the president’s supporters, who demanded to know why this aberrant leader was being treated aberrantly by the press.

Throughout the first term, the Trump administration was treated by the fashion industry as a tacky invasion of barbarian rubes desecrating even the lowly cultural tastes of Washington, DC. The period’s sartorial highlights ranged from Sean Spicer’s ill-fitting gray suit (an outfit so bad it invited a furious takedown from GQ) to micro-celebrity Joy Villa’s gaudy ballgown fashioned out of a MAGA flag.

2/4

Melania infamously donned a jacket emblazoned with “I really don’t care, do u?” during a visit to a migrant child detention center. The president himself wore his navy suits baggy and his red ties low. His pants pooled around his ankles; he kept his ties in place with Scotch tape.

Yet the Resistance had only a few years in it. The massive cultural realignment that turned Trump — gasp — cool has trickled down through the MAGA movement and paved the way for more mainstream acceptance of the first family.

Vogue’s coverage of the inauguration may be a taste of what’s to come. Its Instagram posts — glamorous shots of Ivanka and Jared, Melania and Donald, Usha Vance and J.D. — showed an administration being dressed by the biggest houses in fashion.

One fashion editor I spoke to speculated that Vogue’s coverage of the inauguration was a way to “test the waters” and see if their audience would be open to more hospitable coverage of the first family.

If that was the plan, the response was resounding. Under an Instagram post comparing Ivanka to Audrey Hepburn there are hundreds of furious comments. One of the most “liked” read: “RIP Audrey Hepburn, you would have hated Ivanka Trump.”

Under another post of Melania and Usha, the most-liked comments accused Vogue of seeking to “normalize” the new administration. “What’s next? A retrospective of Eva Braun’s best looks?” one reader asked.

Kardashian faced a similar wave of outrage, shedding 250,000 followers and taking heat from prominent industry voices. Amanda Murray, an influential stylist, posted a screenshot of Kardashian’s post and remarked: “If you’re co-signing any of this in any way, including wardrobing them and normalizing them, you’re complicit in what happens next.”

It seems the backlash did its job. A week after the inauguration, Vogue published a scathing review of Melania’s official portrait, which described the first lady as resembling a “freelance magician” who looked “more like she was guest starring on an episode of The Apprentice than assuming the role of first lady of the United States.”

Yet while there was much criticism that the fashion press generally ignored Melania during Trump’s first term, those who work in the industry point out there was ample, albeit clinical, coverage of her style.

Rachel Tashjian, fashion critic at the Washington Post, notes that most fashion publications “covered what the Trump family wore extensively during their first term, as did fashion critics at the Post and the Times.”

“The change, to me, is that many designers and editors expressed an objection to a second Trump term,” she told me over email. “Now that we’re in a second Trump term, magazines and designers are having to figure out how to navigate these political waters because they made such a strong political statement last year.”

Coverage is one thing, but the holy grail of Trump supporters — a Trump on the cover of Vogue — is another matter.

Once the most prized real estate in all of fashion, Vogue’s cover remains, despite the magazine’s decreasing relevance in the age of Instagram, a monument of cultural success funded by Cartier ads and vigilantly guarded by editor in chief Anna Wintour.

3/4

Despite Vogue’s tradition of putting first ladies on its cover, Melania was never invited for a photoshoot and an interview by Condé Nast’s fashion bible. By comparison, Michelle Obama landed the cover three times during her husband’s terms in office. Jill Biden graced it twice.

“If Melania were a Democrat and said the right things she’d be on every single cover of every single magazine,” one media industry veteran told me.

“They covered Biden’s granddaughter’s wedding like it was the second coming, and he was a total disaster. It’s an egregious double standard.”

The Spectator reported on the obsession with getting Melania into the glossies on its website back in 2018, when pro-Trump actor James Woods posted incessantly on Twitter about the beauty and grace of the first lady and demanded to know why she wasn’t in Vogue.

“Since no American magazine will have put her on a cover, we’ll just have to celebrate her ourselves,” wrote Woods. He attached a photo of Mrs. Trump affixing ornaments to a Christmas tree.

No one has written about the Trump style quite like John Binder, a reporter covering immigration for Breitbart News, who also serves as the website’s fashion critic (yes, Breitbart has a fashion critic). “Americans are hungry for content like this; they want to see coverage of the most elegant people in the world,” Binder told me in a phone interview. “And Melania Trump, in particular, is not only one of the most elegant people in the world, she’s also like the most fashionable first lady we’ve ever had. She has long surpassed Jackie Kennedy. There’s no question.”

So it was baffling to Binder that, throughout Trump’s first term, he was often the only reporter covering the first family. “I just could never understand that the same people that had been praising the prior eight years of cardigans and khakis were criticizing this woman who was wearing the most elegant fashion that you could imagine,” he said.

In the pages of Breitbart, Binder regularly scolded the rest of the media for ignoring Melania.

“She’s the most fashionable United States First Lady the world has ever seen,” he wrote in 2018. “The most striking. The most poised in modern history. The quietest. The most deliberate. And the establishment press refuses to give her the time of day.”

After Trump was voted out of office in 2020, he posted one of Binder’s stories on Melania’s fashion, bearing the caption: “The elitist snobs in the fashion press have kept the most elegant First Lady in American history off the covers of their magazines for 4 consecutive years.”

Now, Binder sees the tide turning.

“Would it be so great if I continued to be the only person covering Melania’s clothes so intently? Yeah, that would be amazing. But truthfully, I hope that everyone else does start covering her. And I think the pendulum is swinging back to the middle.” Despite the right’s complaints, the snub isn’t a mystery. The fashion world is overwhelmingly liberal. And Trump will never be exactly mainstream. When his supporters stormed the Capitol in 2021 and he fled to Mar-a-Lago in disgrace, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg wrote that it vindicated the refusal of institutions such as Vogue to normalize the Trumps. How would it have looked if, the month before, his wife had been treated to a Vogue cover with fawning copy to accompany it?

For that reason, among others, don’t expect the Trumps to land a Vogue cover anytime soon. I’m told the magazine has no plans to put Ivanka, Melania or Usha on the front of any of its editions, despite the brave new world where MAGA is the white-hot center of the culture.

For now, supporters of the first family will have to settle for lesser prizes. Hello! magazine, the fading British rag that now mostly collects dust on the shelves of airport convenience stores, published in early February what in any other time would be a major exclusive: a cover story and interview with First Lady Melania Trump.

The story featured glam shots of Melania posing under Trump Force One in a serious gray suit and disembarking from a black SUV in a pair of red-bottomed Louboutins. “FLOTUS is hands on, rising at 6 a.m. and often continuing with her work until 1 a.m.,” read a caption beneath a photo of a jeans-clad Melania examining an iPad on the President’s private jet.

4/4

Conservative media celebrated the victory: the Washington Examiner and the Daily Wire ran stories noting Melania’s “first magazine cover feature in sixteen years,” though they observed the cover was digital only.

“Melania was handled poorly by the New York Times and everybody in the first Trump presidency because she looked amazing the whole time and they never talked about it,” one magazine editor told me. “They would talk about the high heels, or the ‘I don’t really care, do u?’ jacket. But they never acknowledged that she looked incredible. That was always weird — because villains look great. Darth Vader dresses great. Hitler looked great!”

In a weird way, the editor said, it’s possible that the decision to ice out the Trumps, to ignore rather than celebrate Melania and the rest of the family, was yet another misstep that pushed Americans away from the traditional media and into the arms of the Trump movement.

Sensing this editor was reassessing the Trumps, I asked if they would put any of the clan on the cover of their mag.

After an extended pause came the disgusted reply: “No!”

Finally the truth about the First Lady
