President trump is reprising a tactic from his first term: unilaterally terminating CBAs with civil service unions. This is illegal under the FLMRS, but is likely intended to tee up constitutional challenges to collective bargaining. I spoke with Barron's about this yesterday.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work.
"Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP.
So much government efficiency going on.
What a joke.
