20 states sue Trump over mass firings saying Musk’s DOGE skipped required notices
The administration failed to provide notice before the mass firings, the states argue
Summary
Twenty Democratic-leaning state attorneys general sued the Trump administration over mass firings of federal employees, alleging violations of federal regulations requiring 60-day advance notice.
The lawsuit claims the abrupt terminations have caused financial hardship for workers and strained state resources.
The AGs demand a halt to the layoffs, reinstatement of affected employees, and future compliance with labor laws.
DOGE, led by Elon Musk, has faced backlash for abruptly and haphazardly firings, with some rehiring efforts amid bipartisan calls to slow down cost-cutting measures.

Good, but man did that take a long time. Maybe a little overtime is warranted when we're sliding toward fascism.
-
People have been suing and taking all kinds of action against DOGE, they just don't get as many headlines as the horrible stuff. Dem state attorney have filed a ton and gotten things like federal funding to the state restored - see for instance PA getting $2 Billion in federal funding unfrozen. People are fighting, the media is just minimally covering it

This apartheid loving piece of shit needs to be put to work cleaning the highways in New Mexico, so the he can sweat the Turkish hair plugs right out of his pores.

Why is it only democratic leaning states, did they not attempt to fire people in other states?
-
red states are run by people who been working towards this. as far as they're concerned the system is working as intended

Fucking dipshits. Perhaps, when breaking into the govt, start fixing shit. Eliminate the IRS' cozy relationship tax/ accounting software. Make taxes coherent and simple. Declassify cannabis. A fourth grader could write a popular platform around this.
I'm reminded of when the Scientologists infiltrated the IRS. Fuckers did nothing helpful.

It's not about a popular platform. It's about enriching themselves. They don't give a fuck about democracy or populism. These demons think they are better than everyone else and that they should rule.

I get it but how many dumbasses came before these dumbasses? I wish I weren't such a dumbass either.

haphazardly firings

This implies that fElon might not know what the fuck he's even doing? Are you saying waving around some performative chainsaw isn't the entire job?
-
Will y'all just set the whole thing on fire??? There's nothing worth saving. Raze to the ground

Easy to say, if you are not among the children, elderly, and poor suffering and dying. The billionaires and fascists are just tearing down anything that gets in the way of their path to unregulated profit, and damn the consequences. No I want to build a decent world, not burn it down.
-
You need a good foundation to build on. And the current state of your country isn't it. Not even close, and hasn't been for decades.
I want a better world too. I mean, who doesn't? Ideally, a world where your government isn't in the axis of evil.
