A federal judge has ruled that a plan by the Trump administration to slash staffing at the federal agency tasked with responding to disasters by 50% was unlawful.
The opinion issued late Friday marked a victory for labor groups who had sued the agency. The labor organization had argued that plans by the Department of Homeland Security, which was then led by Secretary Kristi Noem, violated congressional protections that were designed to safeguard the independence of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The issue of the FEMA staffing was part of a much larger lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Government Employees and other labor groups, pushing back on efforts by the Trump administration to slash the federal workforce.
Yeah, I keep seeing them making claims about how we are making so much money (on taxes paid by people buying shit being imported, AKA, tariffs) like we’ve never seen, and unless the clip is edited, I see no push-back on it. Pretty sure I saw recent claim of both “JD” and tiny-d donnie making that claim.
And there are obviously still people that believe them on this.
