Summary

A federal judge in Massachusetts has allowed the Trump administration’s “deferred resignations” program to move forward, lifting a prior court order that had paused the initiative.

The program offers federal workers full pay and benefits until September if they agree to resign, but warns others that job security is uncertain.

The judge ruled that labor unions lacked standing to sue because the unions’ alleged damages were not “sufficient.”

He suggested employees must challenge the program through administrative channels.

    This MF was appointed by Clinton.

    People need to stop expecting the judiciary to save us. It won’t. Think back to the many, many times when people thought “now is the time we’ll finally hold these criminals accountable.” The Supreme Court failed us. Federal judges mostly failed us.

    It’s like talking about how the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms is gonna start arresting people. No. This is all cope.

    Organize. People in the streets will be the only solution.

    “Administrative channels” no longer exist.

    All fascists had to do was get the roadblocks in front of one of the fascist judges conservatives have planted over the last few decades. Won’t be hard. The same will happen for most of them.
