If the US brags about being the most important democracy in the world, this is a nice opportunity to prove it by overturning all this crazy's decisions.
Anybody who genuinely thinks Donald "refuses to pay anybody" Trump is going to let you sit on your couch in exchange for a full salary for 8 months deserves whatever the fuck they get.
Breaking News: A federal judge has suspended the deadline for federal workers to announce their unpaid resignations to install loyalists for the Trump administration in their place.
^ honest take
NYT headline left out a lot on the legality here, nevermind Donald "dine and dash" Trump
This - this is how we resist. Silly wasted impeachment stunts and congressional press conferences won’t work. The federal judiciary is our best hope. Lawyers, at their best, are guardians of liberty and the rule of law and now is the time. Any lawyer representing DOGE is a sellout.
Perhaps it is time for each and every government worker collect their belongings and walk out in mass. On Feb.14th, 1980 I walked out on strike with 96% of the people I worked with and the city was unable to have just our 1 department function. We did win. Imagine the entire government shut down.
@nytimes.com why leave out the most inflammatory part of Karoline Levitt’s statement?!?
NYT: “We encourage federal workers in this city to accept the very generous offer,” she said, adding: “We’ll find highly competent individuals who want to fill these roles.”
AP News: “We encourage federal workers in this city to accept the very generous offer,” Karoline Levitt said. “They don’t want to come into the office. If they want to rip the American people off, then they’re welcome to take this buyout and we’ll find highly qualified people” to replace them.
The con is simple, yet profound.
Push the skilled out, bring the clowns.
The buyout's a scam, a corporate ruse,
Trump can't be trusted to follow through.
The south has risen again. German Nazis rejoice, KKK grand master is in the White House. The American empire has sold itself to the highest bidder thanks to SCOTUS's Citizens United decision. Goodbye America, hello Furor Trump. #weeping, #Trump, #GOP, #civilwar, #sad
Those who believe this is a farce, ACT. Trumusk is just cutting jobs on a whim. They are doing this to meet a 5% quota. What businessmen takes an axe to his business to save money. Stand Together & Everyone Act on 2/11
ELON MUSK IS PERPETRATING A COUP OF THE U.S. OF AMERICA. ACTIVE MILITARY&VETERANS SWORE AN OATH TO PROTECT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION NOT THE PRESIDENT, FROM ALL ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. THROW OFF SUCH LEADERSHIP AND SELECT NEW OFFICIALS TO PROVIDE FOR OUR FUTURE SECURITY.THIS IS NOT A DEBATE
Trump shouldn’t even comply with the judge’s orders. There’s no reason to comply with any judges orders anymore. It didn’t apply to Biden and the Supreme Court decision on student loan debt. They explicitly told him that it was unconstitutional yet he ignored the supreme court

What they won't get is a paycheck. Guarantee it.
Yes, I know it's a lawless admin, but this would open them up to lawsuits.
Now, you could argue the legality of the offer itself with promising funds not yet appropriated.
Buyouts are typically requested by agency and have months of prep.
This one wasn't thought out in the slightest.

Only two weeks ago, the craziest thing Demented Don said was that he’d change the name of the “Gulf of Mexico”
To “Gulf of America”…
Oh the good ole days…
