U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in D.C. The court ruled that MAGA’s plan to cut 532 full-time government jobs — a plan managed by the crazy conspiracy theorist Kari Lake — can’t happen. The decision stops the dismissals until the judge can decide on the plaintiffs’ request to stop the firings. This recent loss for Trump comes after a previous decision by Judge Lamberth, who said the government has to bring back Voice of America’s programming so it can be a dependable and trustworthy source of news.
Trump’s actions to cut back on VOA are part of a larger MAGA plan to reduce the federal government’s size and power.
Their main aim is to reduce it to nothing, so the rich can get bigger tax breaks and big companies can control us without facing any consequences. Lake and Trump said that VOA, which sends English broadcasts abroad, doesn’t match the “America First” idea. Since VOA promotes real American values and “America First” really means corrupt authoritarian rule, their analysis is correct — but not for the reasons they want us to think. This decision deserves recognition just like all the other decisions that have been made against this government. These judges should understand that the American people support them in standing up to Donald Trump, so they can keep having the bravery to make decisions that follow the rule of law.
