A federal appeals court has lifted a lower court’s injunction, allowing former Trump’s executive order to proceed. This order aims to revoke collective bargaining rights for a significant portion of federal employees.

I still don't understand why they didn't set up this system so that any EO was reviewed by the supreme court and found constitutional before being made public. Still not approved by but considered NOT illegal.
Sure but if the founding fathers were serious about a 3 part system, EOs would go through SCOTUS first and Congress should have to face the same scrutiny before ANY of their bills passed. I just hate waste so I find it stupid to burden citizens with contesting unconstitutionality.
So I gotta ask... the GAO would weigh in on these right? And issue reports. But We The People never see them? Or are they posted somewhere I didn't even know about because, as you point out, this has never been thing until now.
Yep, the most qualified are taking the VERA or DERP or both. The overwhelming sentiment is get out if you can. The thing is we are already seeing the effects in air travel and weather warnings. It is going to get worse.
Funny how “small government” folks suddenly love big government when it means silencing workers. Stripping collective bargaining rights isn’t about efficiency—it’s about control.
When he tried this, and the injunction followed, he found a work-around. Union leadership at the VA was no longer allowed to use work hours to conduct union business. SO if an employee had a grievance the union rep was told to handle it on their own time.
Well, the FOTUS and his felons have betrayed all of our allies and disavowed all of the promises we made to those who served in the military and those who supported them in the field. . .
Then take it to another court! Project 2025 boasted how they plan to eliminate ALL UNIONS! That when they fired civil service employees, IF they took them back, they would have to state allegiance to trump and give up all benefits, especially tenure!🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦☘️🍀
I don’t know. I know a lot of union people who voted for the orange anus faced turd and I couldn’t believe it. Unions used to be strong but now they are filled with idiots who can’t seem to understand the republicans would take the shirt off your back if it meant they could make more money.
Important to note, this is the case from Natl Treasury Employees Union. There's a second similar case from AFGE decided at district level in favor of the union, in a different circuit. So definitely not the end assuming the unions appeal.
Trump is corrupt as hell and using America for his extravagant business perversions. He is not, in any sense of the word, being a U.S. President! Maybe when MAGA cult has no electric access, no phones or internet, safe food or water they will see him for what he is.. A cruel user and thief and LIAR
Is THIS enough for you to make a statement that you support impeachment?? @mikethompson.house.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Someone should have told our past presidents that they didn’t need congress for anything. All they had to do was write an executive order. I am looking forward to the Universal Single payer healthcare executive order in the next Democratic presidency.
Waiting for federal courts to recognize that EOs are not laws, they're memos. Is it really going to take 5+ years for them to rule that presidents cannot unilaterally make a law? They seemed to be pretty comfortable doing that when Dems are in charge.
Cos yeah can’t have all those lowly public servants thinking they have rights, or can make their lives better. Who do they think they are, Politicians??!!
Sadly, yes. I remember reading something on reddit about D.C. circut, doing something that would continue the relief, but im not the bedt at legal jargon so i had trouble parsing what they would do
Ok so i sat down and hunted down what i read and parsed is a bit better. So because the judge did issue that TRO and its supporting statement they is signalling that the unions are likely to succeed in the end. this is a setback but ultimate outlook is good cause the case isn't over yet.
AN EO IS NOT LAW. It is at best a wish from the President and at least a wish from the President. It holds no legal authority, so for a court to rule otherwise is insane

They are also going to lose our best ppl in the process
2 Dolls and the 25’ers want to flood the zone
The EO’s that 2 Dolls is spewing out go against passed legislation
They are all illegal impoundments of passed budgets
There is no comparison at all

Bush Jr's legacy falls even further now (it was never what one could call "high").
Because executive orders, they can be issued by any president.
I know, I know, Trump intends to make the presidency a Caesar thing. Don't think it'll work.
What? You mean the foreign countries don’t pay your tariff? This doesn’t compute! You said foreign countries paid. This means you lied!
Make up your mind, what’s left of it. You scare me!
Be fierce, be brave, be free.
Oh, and 86 47.
