🛑 Court Blocks Trump’s Mass Layoffs Across Federal Agencies—for Now

A federal judge has halted the Trump administration’s plan to carry out mass layoffs across most major federal agencies. This means departments like the VA, Interior, and Education cannot move forward with their reduction-in-force (RIF) plans—at least for now.

The court found that the layoff orders were likely unconstitutional and that the administration was trying to bypass required checks and balances. For now, this ruling gives federal workers a two-week reprieve—the next court update is expected in early June.

This is a major temporary win for federal workers who’ve been living under threat of sudden cuts. At the VA, where 80,000 jobs are on the line, this could slow down the timeline and give us a clearer view of what’s really coming.

📣 What this means for us:

If you or a coworker has been told your job is at risk, this pause could affect how soon those cuts can happen. Keep an eye on any notices or briefings, and talk to your steward if you have questions.
