Summary
A federal judge extended a freeze on the Trump administration’s plan to push millions of federal workers to resign through dubious mass buyouts.
The Office of Personnel Management’s “deferred resignation” program, which promised continued pay through September, faced legal challenges from unions calling it an “unlawful ultimatum.”
Critics argue the plan lacks legal authority and creates uncertainty for workers. The judge will rule on a preliminary injunction.
The White House defends the offer as a way to reduce the federal workforce, with 60,000 employees reportedly accepting it.
If Elon controls all the government payments, it doesn’t matter if it’s legal or not. He can just stop paying them all. He can stop paying the judges, and paying for courthouses. He would have near complete control of the government.
And Trump, like an absolute moron, is letting him do it. He has no idea that Elon will have all the power, and he’ll be left holding nothing. He doesn’t even see it coming.
Always make them do illegal stuff and make it expressly clear they’re doing illegal stuff. It may not stop them, but it’s much worse if we just cynical ourselves into letting them do it because we’ve already decided nothing matters.
Absolutely. Resist. They don’t have to take your rights if you willingly give them up.
That would be wild, any judge that challenges them they just stop paying. I don’t think we too far from that happening at the current rate.
UnPresidented plan.

Resign so they fill the spots with new untrained people they can control
They don’t plan to fill them. They plan to eliminate the position of anyone who takes this option.
