The Supreme Court issued a bombshell decision that cleared the way for Donald Trump to enact the most dramatic shake-up of Washington D.C. in modern history. The court ruling lifts an injunction that temporarily blocked Trump's sweeping executive order to institute mass layoffs across the federal government.
The decision clears a major legal obstacle for Trump's high-profile campaign to 'deconstruct the administrative state' - a pledge that has already resulted in an estimated 260,000 federal firings, resignations, and early retirements since January, according to internal tracking cited by Reuters. Trump's executive order told various agencies across the federal government to prepare to decimate their workforce.
