On Tuesday the Supreme Court lifted a lower court order which had blocked President Donald Trump from carrying out mass firings in federal agencies. The ‘action’ phase of the DOGE agenda can now get underway.
“Because the Government is likely to succeed on its argument that the Executive Order and Memorandum are lawful—and because the other factors bearing on whether to grant a stay are satisfied—we grant the application,” the Supreme Court stated on page 1.
President Donald Trump’s agenda aims to reduce the size of government, directed in part by investigations conducted by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This agenda had been on hold due to “U.S. District Judge Susan Illston’s May 22 order that temporarily stopped large-scale layoffs known as reductions in force from moving forward while the litigation continues in the lower courts.”
The American Federation of Government Employees said that Trump’s agenda of reducing the federal workforce will result in hundreds of thousands of federal employees losing their jobs.
“The Supreme Court said in an unsigned order that the district court blocked the government’s actions based on the lower court’s view that President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14210 and a memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget were ‘unlawful’,” The Epoch Times said.
The President’s order 14210 (the Workforce Optimization Initiative of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency) directed all agency directors to work with the DOGE to reduce the number of staff and limit new hiring.
Trump can now resume a practice he honed long before his political career, telling people “you’re fired.”
