Given the signals around the USAID case, can’t help but wonder if they’re waiting to get cover from SCOTUS

Important to note that this is more of a temporary reprieve. Trump-Musk thought it would be easiest to fire probationary employees and realized it wasn't. Now they appear to be heading to reduction in force and voluntary separations as the path of least resistance.

They could have but they would need reasons and they don’t want to to the work.

After scrapping any oversight or regulation, traumatizing federal workers is the primary objective. As Russell Vought said himself.

How many of the probationary employees who do not absolutely need their specific federal job will come back, knowing the Musk administration will seek to get rid of them at the first opportunity?

Eh. Yes it walks back the OPM probationary firings. Which is good. But it leaves in place the 50% reduction in staff goals for most agencies right? With the March 13 deadline?

Just saying, do it yourselves
