It will be interesting to see if the other agencies do the same.

They couldn’t run a lemonade stand. Musk out there saying Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” Tell that to all the recipients of it who love it.

Trump is out golfing while Carolina burns.

Bondi lied to us about releasing the Epstein files.  
.
Trump demanding an apology from Zelensky when Trump has NEVER offered up an apology to anyone.

I would call Trump Inc the “Keystone Cops” but I don’t want to denigrate the Kops.

They sure are "suckin'...

is the head of the Executive Branch.  It sure isn't the court.  

That is why he said the word "Should" and not shall. Meaning the Trump administration can still fire the newbies.

'The phrase "ready, fire, aim" originates from the military practice of musket-armed infantry drills in the 18th century, where the proper sequence of actions was to first "ready" the musket, then "aim" before finally "firing" - essentially representing the idea of preparing, targeting, and then taking action; it's often used today to describe situations where someone acts impulsively without sufficient planning, implying they "fired" before properly "aiming."

"U.S. District Judge William Alsup says the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) must rescind directives sent to some agencies ordering them to fire their probationary employees — typically those in their first or second year in a job."
-
"Underpinning their argument is the fact that, while OPM handles many human resource functions for the federal workforce, it does not have Congressional authority to manage the employees of other agencies, a point that Alsup underscored in court."
-
"The agency has no authority to tell any other agency in the U.S. government who it can hire and fire, period," he said.
-
IOW, the judge's ruling deals with the powers of OPM, not the President. Essentially OPM performs an HR function for government employees and doesn't have the authority to hire/fire on its own, which belongs to the agencies. Got it?

I think he knew what he was doing was wrong and true a sticky ball at the wall to see if it would stick.
