Trump Suffers Huge Loss as Judge Overturns “Unlawful” Mass Firings

At Donald Trump’s behest, #DOGE had sought to gut the federal workforce.

"the mass firing of federal employees was an “unlawful” directive...

ordered several agencies to “immediately” reinstate... employees... the #VA... Depts of #Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury, & #Agriculture... the IRS, which falls under the helm of the Treasury Dept"

#Media barred from covering top #Defense, #VA #Health officials at conference amid concerns over care, despite being welcomed at such conferences up to now.

Musk/Trump/#GOP champions of govt #transparency?

I don't think so.

New Doge/Musk Email Goes Seriously Sideways
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/new-doge-musk-email-goes-seriously-sideways

"top leadership at the #FBI, the #State Dept, the #VA, the Dept of the #Navy... & other parts of the government have explicitly instructed employees... to ignore the #email ...

these emails are authorized or allowed if not directed by... [ #Trump] And yet whole wings of the #government are saying to ignore it...

his own appointees are pushing back and in a fairly public way."

Before I was fired tonight, I was in charge of information security for VA.gov, which has millions of users per month and stores and processes huge amounts of veterans' personal information. I've been told by people I've worked with that I'm the best at what I do of anyone they've ever worked with. Now there will be _no one_ in charge of information security for VA.gov.
Does this seem like improving government efficiency?

Do you know any of these guys? This was on the balcony of the old French control tower at #Danang, #Vietnam, ca 1969. I'm the good looking guy holding the camera. The #VA is adamant I get tested for #AgentOrange exposure. I don't need no steenkin' tests, I know I was exposed. I'd like to know if any of the guys in the pic have had cancer or other AO related effects. I keep telling the #VA, at my age, I'm gonna die sooner than later but now, I'm curious. Thanks.
