Just like Bezos and Musk wished, Trump neutered the National Labor Relations Board.
Now, union-busting corporations can exploit their employees with impunity.
Last I checked, that's not standing with workers the way Trump promised.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Trump has halted funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and healthcare. He has effectively frozen 10% of our economy, and people could die if they are cut off from life-saving medications. How can anyone be okay with this?

Why is this being allowed to happen? Where are the checks and balances I remember learning about in school?!
The White House late Friday fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for President Donald Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.
Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.
