No, President Trump: Less traffic at our ports means less work for the men and women who run them, like the thousands of Marylanders who power the Port of Baltimore.
That's not a good thing. These tariffs will tear apart our economy and hurt our communities — and it's entirely Trump-inflicted.

REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

BREAKING: The D.C. Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, bars the CFPB from terminations pending appellate review of a district court injunction. Judge Pillard (Obama) and Katsas (Trump) take the action over the disset of Judge Rao (Trump).
UPDATE: In the CFPB litigation, as discovery was produced, DOJ claimed several documents as privileged. Given that most relate to Paoletta, whose declaration was the key justification of the RIF, plaintiffs said, basically: "Hold up, you can't say he authorized this *and* we can't tell you why."
![IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NATIONAL TREASURY
EMPLOYEES UNION, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
RUSSELL VOUGHT, in his official capacity
as Acting Director of the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. !"-cv-&'(-ABJ
MOTION TO COMPEL
The defendants claim that they did not violate the preliminary injunction because they
“determined, after a particularized assessment,” that the employees they RIFed were “unnecessary
to the performance of [CFPB’s] statutory duties.” To support this assertion, they submitted a
declaration from Mark Paoletta, the Chief Legal Officer of the CFPB, claiming to have conducted
the required assessment—along with Victoria Dorfman and Daniel Shapiro. Paoletta Decl. ¶ Y.
Yet now, the defendants seek to withhold information related to how they conducted that supposed
assessment under the guise of privilege. They cannot have it both ways. The defendants cannot
rely on Paoletta’s testimony and then shield the documents that would enable the plaintiffs and the
Court to assess that testimony. Given the centrality of Paoletta’s purported assessment to the showcause hearing, this Court should reject (or at least investigate in camera) the defendants’ attempts
to hide the discussions regarding this very assessment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihpfyr5ynhjg73dbl26r4d6atpcfksmv6ycmfwaxz2n2ufhtlbllm@jpeg)
