Summary

A federal judge temporarily reinstated Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) after Trump fired him via email.

Dellinger, a Biden appointee, sued, arguing his removal violated laws protecting his five-year term.

The OSC investigates whistleblower complaints and Hatch Act violations.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s ruling allows Dellinger to remain in office until Thursday but does not decide the case’s merits.

    The rich are trying to achieve world domination before we collectively strip them of their excess wealth to fix wealth inequality and dethrone them.

    I wish i were kidding…

    Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

    Hampton Dellinger

    That’s the name of a late 1800s Western Frontier sheriff if I ever saw one 😄
