On the one hand it's a victory for those who say the buyout offer is unlawful -- BUT it's also giving people more time to decide which will likely increase the number of people who take the so-called "buyout" www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

The memo updates a directive sent earlier this week that told agencies to submit written plans for executing a "reduction-in-force," i.e., layoffs, no later than January 31. But now they're saying agencies should start issuing these reduction-in-force notices right away

In 2019, when Trump wanted John Ratcliffe as his head of National Intelligence, Democrats called him shockingly unqualified, noting his only qualification was loyalty to Trump. Trump had to pull the nomination and do a recess appointment. Today, only 25 Dems voted against him for head of the CIA.
