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.
People have been suing and taking all kinds of action against DOGE, they just don’t get as many headlines as the horrible stuff. Dem state attorney have filed a ton and gotten things like federal funding to the state restored - see for instance PA getting $2 Billion in federal funding unfrozen. People are fighting, the media is just minimally covering it
