A federal judge in San Francisco hears arguments in a case challenging the Trump administration's firings of thousands of probationary employees — those in their first year or so on the job.

Imagine how much time was spent training all of these people, only to fire them and when others are hired, the training has to start from scratch. Do we need to start buying common sense for government officials and adjacent lunatics?
Keep fighting.
Thank you to these honest judges for standing up (my list of heroes so far)

Probationary applies to employees who are new to role, new to department, even new to agency. Non vertical transfers end up here too. The depth of experience and talent being discarded is criminal. Adopting terminology to portray them as barely interns is intellectually dishonest.
The 1st year after appointment on a career conditional appointment is considered a probationary period. It may not be extended ( see 5 CFR 315.801 and 315.802). Termination after completion of probation requires use of either RIF or adverse action procedures (see 5CFR 752).
UPDATE: A federal judge in San Francisco partially halted the Trump administration's firings of thousands of probationary employees — those in their first year or so on the job.
Why not "Federal Judge?" Or Northern District of California Judge. I rarely see the home cities of other judges mentioned. Why the decision to feed that partisan beast @npr.org?
But tRump will push this to SCrOTUS and they will grant his lowness whatever the 🍊 🤡 wants. Chief inJustice Roberts will go down in history as a seditious traitor, the new Benedict Arnold.
They aren't following court orders. The courts have no way to force them to follow their orders. Only Congress can do anything about it and that isn't going to happen unless Democrats take the Senate.

POS Pussy Grabber is trying to lead via test balloon
He floats stupid/corrupt/illegal ideas
When there's sufficient push back, he retreats like the coward he is
If there's only minor outrage, he blunders forth alleging a mandate
Leading from behind
Clusterffuucckk 2025 is here
RESIST!

They brought it on themselves and everyone is collateral damage.
Dear MAGA,
He meant you too.
Sincerely,
