“The Trump administration can for now continue its mass firings of federal employees, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, rejecting a bid by a group of labor unions to halt Donald Trump’s dramatic downsizing of the roughly 2.3 million-strong federal workforce.

The ruling by US district judge Christopher Cooper in Washington DC federal court is temporary while the litigation plays out. But it is a win for the Trump administration as it seeks to purge the federal workforce and slash what it deems wasteful and fraudulent government spending.

The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) and four other unions sued last week to block the administration from firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and granting buyouts to employees who quit voluntarily.

The unions are seeking to block eight agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Department of Veterans Affairs from implementing mass layoffs.

In his 16-page order, Cooper started by acknowledging Trump’s “onslaught of executive actions that have caused, some say by design, disruption and even chaos in widespread quarters of American society”

He went on to add: “Affected citizens and their advocates have challenged many of these actions on an emergency basis in this Court and others across the country.”

However, Cooper on Thursday said he likely lacks the power to hear the case, and that the unions instead must file complaints with a federal labor board that hears disputes between unions and federal agencies.

Cooper wrote: “NTEU fails to establish that it is likely to succeed on the merits because this Court likely lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the claims it asserts. The Court will therefore deny the unions’ motion for a temporary restraining order and, for the same reasons, deny their request for a preliminary injunction.”

Trump has tapped the Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, to lead a so-called “department of government efficiency”, or Doge, which has swept through federal agencies slashing thousands of jobs and dismantling federal programs since Trump became president last month and put Musk in charge of rooting out what he deems wasteful spending as part of Trump’s dramatic overhaul of government. Trump also ordered federal agencies to work closely with Doge to identify federal employees who could be laid off.”

Useful idiot, or asset? Agent, who knows what he does? Trump supports Russia against Europe, breaks ties with European democracies & sides with Neo-Nazi parties. Trump proclaimed he is a Russian agent fully allied with Putin’s dream of a Russian Empire.

 The first nine words in this New York Times article are wrong:

“As President Trump makes an abrupt pivot toward Russia,”

Trump has been aligned with Russia for decades. 

It’s well known that Trump is a mobster who was rescued by the Russian mob. They propped up Trump when he could not get legitimate financing. 

“Recall that Trump was $4 billion in debt after his Atlantic City casinos went bankrupt. He couldn’t get a bank loan from anywhere in the West, and Bayrock comes in and Trump partners with other people as well, but Bayrock essentially has a new model that says, “You don’t have to raise any money. You don’t have to do any of the real estate development. We just want to franchise your name, we’ll give you 18 to 25 percent royalties, and we’ll effectively do all the work. And if the Trump Organization gets involved in the management of these buildings, they’ll get extra fees for that.”

It was a fabulously lucrative deal for Trump, and the Bayrock associates — Sater in particular — were operating out of Trump Tower and constantly flying back and forth to Russia. And in the book, I detail several channels through which various people at Bayrock have close ties to the Kremlin, and I talk about Sater flying back and forth to Moscow even as late as 2016, hoping to build the Trump Tower there.”

And

"In Russia, the mafia is essentially a state actor. When I interviewed Gen. Oleg Kalugin, who is a former head of counterintelligence in the KGB and had been Vladimir Putin’s boss at one point, I asked him about the mafia. He said, “Oh, it’s part of the KGB. It’s part of the Russian government.”

TRUMP KAKISTOCRACY/KLEPTOCRACY NEWS: It's impossible for Trump to operate in court in a manner that does not STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN. Will NY Federal Judge Dale Ho appoint a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR in the Department of Justice quid pro quo Adams case.

 The Department of Justice & Mayor Adams are on the same quid pro quo side. No one is representing “The People.”

PISSED OFF Judge CONFRONTS Trump MAYOR SCHEME

MICHAEL POPOK

Feb 18, 2025  Legal AF Podcast

"Will a NY Federal Judge use his “inherent authority” to refuse to dismiss the indictment of Mayor Eric Adams as demanded by Trump and his DOJ, and instead appoint a Special Prosecutor of his own to investigate the corruption scandal that’s engulfed the Trump Administration?  Michael Popok takes a deep look at the unique circumstances present to allow Judge Ho to save the criminal justice system from an ethically challenged and corrupt Trump DOJ.

“Judge Dale E. Ho, who on Wednesday will hold a hearing in the foundering corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams of New York, is facing a storm of demands that he look deeply into the federal government’s reasons for seeking to drop the prosecution.

On Monday night, three former U.S. attorneys from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut filed a brief asking the judge to conduct an extensive inquiry into whether the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the Adams case was in the public interest or merely a pretext for securing the mayor’s cooperation with the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies.

Earlier in the day, Common Cause, the good-government advocacy group, asked the judge to deny the Justice Department’s motion, which it called part of a “corrupt quid pro quo bargain.” The organization asked the judge to consider appointing an independent special prosecutor to continue the case.

And the New York City Bar Association, with more than 20,000 lawyers as members, said in a statement that the order by a top Justice Department official, Emil Bove III, “cuts to the heart of the rule of law” and asked for a “searching inquiry” into the facts.

On Tuesday morning, Judge Ho set a hearing for 2 p.m. Wednesday in Manhattan federal court to discuss the reasons for the government’s motion and the procedure for resolving it.

The judge, in a two-page order, offered no hint about his position and made it clear that under a federal rule, the executive branch was “the first and presumptively the best judge” of whether to drop a prosecution.

But he also emphasized the court’s independent responsibility. The government’s discretion, he wrote, “should not be judicially disturbed unless clearly contrary to manifest public interest.”

The legal and political crisis encompasses both the Justice Department and New York’s City Hall, calling into question Mr. Adams’s future as well as the independence and probity of federal prosecutions…

The law gives judges scant ability to refuse a prosecutor’s request to drop criminal charges. But Mr. Adams’s case may be an exception…

“What is at stake here is far more than an internal prosecutorial dispute about an individual case,” the former U.S. attorneys wrote. “The public furor that has arisen during the past week raises concerns about respect for the rule of law and the division of power between the executive and judicial branches of government in our nation…”

Nick Akerman, the lawyer for Common Cause, also asked that his organization be heard as a friend of the court, noting that because the government had agreed with Mr. Adams to dismiss the indictment, no one was representing the public before the judge.

He asked that Judge Ho consider the appointment of an independent prosecutor, as State Senator Zellnor Myrie, a Democrat who is running for mayor, did last week. It is a remedy that is unusual but plausible, said Stephen Gillers, a legal ethics expert at New York University School of Law.

Professor Gillers said that if Judge Ho ordered the government to proceed with the case and it refused, the judge might then explore the possibility of appointing a special prosecutor.

“He’d be vindicating the interest of the grand jury and the court itself in not letting the case die,” Professor Gillers said…

Late Monday night, Justice Connection, an organization that supports Justice Department employees facing “unprecedented attacks on their employment, their integrity, their well-being and their safety,” made public an open letter praising prosecutors in New York and Washington who resigned or whose jobs were threatened.

It was signed by more than 850 former federal prosecutors and was addressed to their counterparts still in the department. Among the signers was Jack Smith, the special counsel who carried out two federal criminal investigations of Mr. Trump.

“You have responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront with principle and conviction,” Justice Connection’s letter said, adding that current prosecutors would face more challenges ahead.

“Generations of former federal prosecutors are watching with pride and admiration and stand ready to support you in this honorable pursuit,” the letter said."

UNBELIEVABLE The New York Times left out the $1000 per month SCAM that Musk’s SENIOR ADVISER TO THE ACTING IRS COMMISSIONER, GAVIN KLIGER-25 RAN. This guy has HIS STICKY FINGERS ON $1.5 TRILLION!

 The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to give a team member working with Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency access to sensitive taxpayer data, people familiar with the matter said.

Maybe Gaven Kliger should be called Leitender Berater a bit more Nazi than Senior Advisor to the acting IRS commissioner. 

Gavin Kliger, 24, who seemed to be in charge of furloughing US Agency for International Development staffers, according to an e-mail he sent last week, has been a big social media promoter of Nazi-friendly Nick Fuentes and self-proclaimed misogynist (and accused rapist) Andrew Tate. 

 The systems at the I.R.S. contain the private financial data tied to millions of Americans, including their tax returns, Social Security numbers, addresses, banking details and employment information…

Gavin Kliger, a young software engineer who was brought into the Office of Personnel Management as part of the DOGE effort, worked at I.R.S. headquarters on Thursday, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly. He will be assigned to the I.R.S. as a senior adviser to the acting commissioner. The tax agency is still working out the exact terms of his work at the I.R.S., though he is expected to have broad access to its systems, according to the two people.

As of Sunday evening, he had not yet gained access to sensitive I.R.S. data, the two people said.

Gavin Kliger, 25, is one of six baby-faced boys with little-to-no government experience handpicked by the 'First Buddy' to sow havoc in the civil service…

Kliger sent the instruction from a USAID email address he was provided with as part of high-level access to its systems, along with fellow DOGE nerd Luke Farritor.

While the staff were kept home, DOGE gained access to the agency's IT system, building security, and classified materials, and began dismantling it.

Just hours before he sent the email, Kliger made a post on his Substack page titled: 'Why DOGE. Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.'

Unlike the rest of his Substack, the post was 'subscriber only' with a $1,000-a-month fee - or $10,000 for a whole year - to access a single word of it.

However, those who were curious enough to cough up the extraordinary fee found there wasn't even that - the post was completely blank.

It’s official the Republican Party is the Nazi Party. Will Trump declare April 20 Hitler’s Birthday a national holiday? Do we keep the Stars & Stripes or do swastika flags go up around the Capital?

“Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute for International Affairs in Rome, watched Mr. Vance’s speech and interpreted the message as a direct threat by the United States to the European Union, which far-right Europeans and the Kremlin both seek to dismantle. She called it a plot twist by the United States.

“The plot is we are out there to destroy you,” Ms. Tocci said.

“The point is not even Ukraine,” she added. “The point is the deliberate weakening, if not destruction, of Europe, of which Ukraine is a part.”

Ms. Tocci described Mr. Vance’s remarks as an attack on European democracy that perversely twisted the language of democracy itself, the way Russia often does when seeking to sow division within Europe.”

One Christmas night my Aunt Angelina, Aunt Martha, Uncle Lou & Uncle Fred sat at my grandmom’s kitchen table.

I said to Uncle Fred and Uncle Lou. 

“Thanks for what you did.”

Uncle Fred, 

“What do you mean?”

“Thanks for what you did in the war. If you didn’t do it we might all be speaking German now.

My Uncle Fred had to leave the table. 

My Uncle Fred was a combat engineer who landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day. He kept his boots on for three months until they got to Paris. He was constantly under fire for three months.

Uncle Fred never said a word about World War II. My daughter Julia & son Jeff saw him on his front porch and went up to talk. He was putting maggots on his foot to eat away dead tissue. 

It was that mold infection that put him in the hospital in England for a few weeks. During that time his unit was tasked with blowing up a bridge. Something went wrong and his entire unit was killed. I found out from someone at the Veterans Medical Center in Coatesville, PA that haunted him the rest of his life. Uncle Fred thought that if he was there they would have done the job correctly. 

I’m saddened and angered by the Republican Party revival of Nazism. 

My Uncle Lou was a sergeant in Patton’s Army. He said the Germans had better tanks but for every Sherman tank the Nazis destroyed 10 more would come to replace it. 

This is my favorite WWII film scene. It’s from Fury with Brad Pitt:
