NEW: Two weeks ago, a federal court explicitly blocked the State Department from issuing layoffs. The department continues to march toward those cuts, however, and employees and the union are warning it could happen while the injunction remains in place. State won't comment.👇

BREAKING: The Trump admin has put forward new guidance for federal hiring. ALL federal applicants must now pick one or two Trump policies "that are significant to you," the applicant, and write an essay about how they would help implement them. Details on many more changes 👇

BREAKING: At a hearing, Judge Illston suggests her ban on Trump admin layoffs will continue. "The evidence before the court today strongly suggests that the recent actions of the executive branch usurp the constitutional powers of Congress." Says an injunction is likely.

NEW: The USDA agency that manages avian flu response saw employees swarm to the gov’s “buyout” program. It’s now begging employees to reconsider and stay, but preparing to pause/slow down work if they don’t. That’s just one agency looking to walk back some recent workforce cuts

NEW: USDA has told its workforce that severe layoffs are coming. DC staff will be hard hit, but regional offices as well. ~100k employees at USDA, so expect big cuts. At the Forest Service, for example, expectation is 10 ROs ➡️3; DC “hollowed out,” fire division moved entirely

Biden nominated former @seniorexecs President Bill Valdez as @DHSgov undersecretary for management. It's a big job and DHS has a lot of management challenges. Tex Alles has been the acting mgmt. undersecretary for some now.
