- Judge orders Trump administration to give fired workers their jobs back
A judge has ordered several federal government agencies to reinstate the jobs of probationary employees fired en masse by the Trump administration last month.
Judge William Alsup called the sacking of these employees part of a “sham” strategy that aimed to circumvent proper procedures for reducing the federal workforce.
The order will apply to thousands of probationary workers who were fired at the Agriculture, Defence, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs departments.
During Thursday’s hearing, the Department of Justice maintained that the firings were done based on guidance – rather than a directive – from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
- As much as I don’t like being on dating apps, I justify it saying there’s no better way for me to meet and make new friends or be in a potential romantic relationship. It’s funny, the moment I decide that I no longer am going to do the reaching out by liking profiles, women have been reaching out to me. They usually compliment my smile, which I always thought was a throwaway low-hanging-fruit kinda comment; especially when I was presented with a Best Smile Award for a speech communications class and gave an impromptu acceptance speech. But, I’ve been embracing it. Actually, I’ve decided to own it. For a while I stopped smiling with my teeth because when I was courting the mother of my children I mentioned that I didn’t have to wear braces and she quickly assured me “Oh, they aren’t that jacked up.”Last week, an exceptional lady told me I was handsome at two different times. Other than my mom and grandma, I can’t recall ever hearing any woman of dating age ever tell me that, not even the one I was married to for 18 years. Her comment made me lose my balance of sorts.Most girls aren’t very direct with their flirting or intentions on dating apps, but I was impressed with someone who reached out to me yesterday. After a few exchanges, she gave me her number, which was a great sign, but for some reason I’m not quite comfortable giving mine out. But I have to give the girl props on her reply, “Here I sit, with patience, as you slow play me. it’s cool though, I’ll play along. You’re the first contestant I’ve found with real potential. Good night, Keefe. Dinner’s on me if you get the pop-culture reference.” I’m eating a little humble pie here as I can’t catch the pop-culture reference, and neither can ChatGPT. I’m guessing it has something to do with Kieffer Sutherland.
- This short western movie is ten years old, but this is the first I’ve known about it. I thought I’d end things with some adult or crude humor.In the tradition of classic westerns, a narrator sets up the story of a lone gunslinger who walks into a saloon. However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty.
