The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Trump’s administration to move forward with sweeping federal job cuts, according to Reuters. The decision lifts a lower court’s block on mass layoffs tied to Trump’s February executive order. The unsigned order said Trump is likely to succeed in arguing that the downsizing was within presidential authority. While the ruling removes one legal barrier, agency-specific layoffs still face lawsuits and union pushback. The White House called the ruling a "definitive victory" that affirmed Trump’s authority to enforce government-wide efficiency.
