HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- A federal judge Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's plan to offer federal employees a buyout as a way to encourage them to resign.
The ruling came just hours before the midnight deadline.
U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. in Boston set a hearing for Monday at 2 p.m. to consider blocking the buyout further and told the Trump administration to notify workers of the delayed deadline.

When the government audits you for 600.00 but gets mad when they are audited they are the problem
Except they are audited by independent public accounting firms. This isn't an audit; it's a politically motivated hack job by someone that is entirely unqualified to do an audit.
So close little boy, the ones mad at being audited are trump and Elon the manchildren trying to steal your money
And when the people scream in protest that the govt. is uncovering the rancidly fraudulent spending and waste of their own hard earned money - that is a problem. What is wrong with people?
They're angry because their money pit is drying up.
Audit all government agencies, we want to know what they were doing. We need transparency!
They're farming runescape gold
💯
100% Excellent idea!!'
They do that every year you fool
Too late, they already fired the people that do the investigating.
Do they not see what they look like violently opposing auditing out fraud and waste?
The corrupt don't want their money flow to stop
Better than in the pockets of Elon and his cronies.
Why trump and elon won't corrupt?
They should offer this judge a buyout.
This isnt about stopping the corruption. This is about opening the floodgates TO corruption.
USaid needed to be massively scaled back to logical levels (which are incredibly small levels) but this is about breaking America, not the corruption.
Take a hammer to enough parts and the car wont run, which makes it easier to dismantle it for part resell so you cant be tracked by accountability.
@@Sandy-j8p Try to speak English if you can.
Mad they can't embezzle our tax dollars anymore
That is it in a nutshell
Poopy pants
I always knew that it would take a white South African to save this country!
Yeah Trump was out of pocket for that. B/c that was what to generous of a buyout that he was trying to hand out. WAY too much free money just being thrown around in the government again.
Bot.
We must get these people out of DC these people are dirty to the core. We don't need to spend trillions of dollars and not know where it goes we need an audit of this government now 🇺🇲
It’s happening!
Dumbest thing ever said
Sigh... delusional
I agree get them out….
@kevinbarr9003 you're not very smart
Imagine having to go to work and earn a paycheck. What a concept
Of course it’s legal…welcome to the private sector where it happens all the time.
I know people who have been audited by the IRS over a few hundred dollars.
Dozens and dozens of Federal agencies have gone unaudited for decades while spending hundreds of billions $.
The people need to take their government back.
Whoever argues with government accountability is the problem and the enemy.
It's time for the people to know where their money's been going
One should ask themselves, what are they so afraid of? Democrats fear exposure of malfeasance of the public trust.
No we just don’t like rich Nazis
The hell with the critics! We the People voted for TRANSPARENCY.
Going after people’s private information??????
He'll never release the Epstein files. His name is all over those
Then why did republicans refuse the subpoena for Elon Musk to testify in front of Congress?
I did not give Elon Musk a private citizen. The rights to my private information on the government's computers. The government never called me to tell me. They were letting a private citizen into my information with no security clearances. Just because he launched much paid 270 million dollars to get the Republican elected does not give him the rights to my personal information on the government computers. It just bought him a republican
Where’s the Epstein list
Did you hear the senators swearing and threatening because they didn't like losing.
Bot.
@@nyatrue401 ur mad MAGA.
@BijiKurdistan-n2c why would we be mad? We are happy that doge is exposing the corruption! This is what we voted for. Trump and musk are hitting the democrats right where it hurts the most. They are shutting down their corrupt money making and influence machine. As a patriot and American you should be happy about this as well. Unless you are too unintelligent to understand....which, although I pray not, may very well be the case.
Did you see January 6?
@@BijiKurdistan-n2cwho won.. i rest my case bum
Tell the workers to sign their offer or they will be fired. Damn the judges orders.
How about getting rid of all of the Federal contractors?? They make much more than Government employees and aren’t held to the same standards as federal government employees. I worked in the federal government for over 35 years and saw exactly what went on. I have a brother in law who is and has been a government contractor dealing with international communications. He makes $$$$$$$. His company is in Alaska. He works from home in Va. He and his cronies and (Government) customers went out to eat together at a high dollar restaurant. They ended up having $1000 a plate meals.
You think a government employee could do that?? I think it was investigated but nothing happened. And my BIL is still sucking in all of the big bucks from the government.
Time to arrest politicians who refuse to cooperate with holding these government departments accountable for every dollar spent.
I enjoy seeing Trump administration bringing a lot of things to light and igniting a conversation about how we [The United States] are spending federal money.
You can argue and disagree with HOW they are going about this but I think we should consider their reasoning and conviction to make this country more efficient.
If it’s anything like when Elon bought Twitter (so far it’s the same in far too many ways) he’s just going to cherry pick and blatantly lie about what he’s “uncovered.” Just like Twitter he will gut the system and create a lot of problems but tell us it’s fine. Regarding Twitter he recently said “Our user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.”
Good thing a guy who can’t pay his debts to banks or the Saudis is illegally taking control of our financial institutions.
Efficiency is a great idea, but Musk is the last person we should look to for that. The problem with the move fast and break things mentality, is that you break things. Firing thousands of people that we may or may not need isn’t efficient.
Stop been mad at Elon I’m piss off that democrats giving away taxpayer money I’m agree with Elon
These judges need to go!!!
Investigate all these judges!!
It’s unbelievable that people failed to realize their information is being given to government subcontractors every single day.
That's why Americans or senators or anybody else shouldn't have a problem with Elon! Nobody voted for those contractors either! They got hired as a friend of a friend of a brother in law or sisters friend....
Their just mad that they won't have any more laundry to wash and fold.
And what if the spot removed didn't remove their names for signing off! Dammit!
@@bt9653 Can't up vote your post enough.
just delayed slightly. It will happen anyway judge. We don't want the swamp to take over
The gravy train is over! Hahaha let em be mad
Clinton did the same thing back in 94, but now it's a problem
hey tiny brain the 90's were the most prosperous of times and clinton left office with an actual budget surplus unlike the gop which led to recessions time and time again before they even left office
Those employees let go by Clinton probably didn’t get a lucrative buy out package.
Clinton had his unelected bestie do it for him?
Was Clinton's buyout backed by Congress? Is Trump's buyout backed by Congress?
The judge is out of his lane. The Supreme Court already ruled that a president has this power.
They're all crapping their pants, thats why they want to stop Elon 😂😂. Payback is coming!

Activist judges are the worst.
Wait they aren't mentioning how much Doge has uncovered just in a few days hahah. This news channel is a joke
Hahaha elon is the joke. 😂

So much waste - drain the swamp
What the hell do they think businesses have been doing for decades. Welcome to the real world
We need bipartisan judges in the judicial system. I'm so sick of these deplorable judges.
They are supposed to be 🙄 This judge has probably been filling her pockets!
That's funny. Idk why you people pretend to like the constitution when you so clearly hate it.
You betcha Babe
You are absolutely right get those right wing crazies OUT of our Supreme Court!!!
NON partisan or youre FIRED!
Drain the swamp
Layoff the IRS 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Businesses offer buy outs all the time. The offer is come back to the office, which is perfectly legitimate condition of employment. If you don’t want to, take the generous buyout. There isn’t anything wrong with this.
I think there is lots of GHOST EMPLOYEES and they obviously can't go into office... If the government is cutting a physical check, well that's a problem because they can't cash it because it's not a real person
😅
Ok troll
@@michellezahrte Get help. The government does severance packages all the time when budgets gets cut or projects end..
@@ason4641 except Trump is a KNOWN conman who is notorious for NOT paying people
Out of 2 million at least 10% should see that they are not doing anything and they will be laid off .. 200,000 should take that offer and be happy that they are getting paid for nothing. How very generous of us.
Crooked Courts!
All the news media collect taxpayer dollars give it back it the American people dollars I want it back
Anyone blocking or complaining about DODG and all the waste that’s being uncovered are guilty of the spending and laundering.
The judge blocking that is like a Prius stoping a speeding freight train 😂
It’s fun to watch
The fact is that the people that were doing the job also didnt have clearance but still had access to your ssn
So they get fired, but thanks to this judge, they dont get severence pay.
Then fire them without buyout. Salute their Left-Wing judge.
Anyone who is against this is either unemployed or dumb. They’re taking so much of the money that we traded our time for. What’s the problem with making sure it’s used well?
Corrupt judge. Who's paying the judge off?
exactly

Totally Legal ✅

flailing. its just flailing. trying to push back against things they can't stop.
nothing anywhere says the executive can't 'buy out' employment contracts. literally nothing. and if its doesn't say the Executive can't, then that office can. the employees in question are literally underneath the Executive branch.

This is all to make Musk richer. Musk receives billions of dollars in government contracts and subsidies for Tesla and SpaceX. Any money cut from federal programs will be funneled directly into Musk's, Trump's, and their billionaire accomplices pockets. The American taxpayer will never see a dime or benefit from the money we work so hard for to pay into this crooked system.
😂😂😂😂
Promise made, promise kept.. First time in my lifetime a president is actually going after wasteful spending in a meaningful way.
I never heard of a private sector job guaranteed by the taxpayer.

Crazy judges stoping the benefit off America
That's fine they don't need to buy out just fire them then! Any other company offers you a buy out/severance you either take it or you get nothing, so give them nothing!

Well, as I understand it, the buy out was to provide some relief in the employees transition. As the chief executive of employees of the executive branch, he can go ahead and just fire them on Friday making the judges ruling null and void. They should be damn happy I'm not president, I'd have fired them all as soon as I was told of the judges order. They work for the president ultimately and he can fire anyone in any of his departments at any time.
😂😂😂 oh that would be hilarious! I worked for a major title company on the west coast. Another company came in and bought us out. Positions were offered if we wanted to move to Tacoma, WA. or some places in CA. We were given 3 months severance pay and medical coverage for ourselves during those 3 months, but not for anyone covered in our family. If we wanted to relocate, that's great, but it's all on us.
