Another day, another meltdown from the federal bureaucracy and their union cronies. A federal judge just ruled that President Trump can move forward with his long-overdue housecleaning of government workers, and let’s just say, the swamp is not happy.
Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, basically threw up his hands and admitted that he didn’t have the authority to stop the administration’s mass firings of federal employees. In his ruling, he even acknowledged that Trump’s aggressive first month back in office has caused “disruption and even chaos” in Washington. You know what that means? It means he’s doing his job. Because if there wasn’t disruption, that would be the real problem.
The unions, of course, ran straight to the courts trying to block the firings, because nothing terrifies the deep state more than accountability. Five federal employee unions sued, hoping some activist judge would step in and protect their cushy, taxpayer-funded gigs. But instead, Cooper ruled that they need to take their complaints through the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) instead of tying up the courts with their sob stories. Translation: You don’t have a case—go whine somewhere else.
At the heart of all this is the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by none other than Elon Musk, the guy who turned Twitter into X, exposed government censorship, and actually understands how to run an organization without burning piles of money. The DOGE committee has been making recommendations on how to streamline the bloated bureaucracy, and naturally, the career paper-pushers are panicking. When you’ve been hiding behind layers of red tape for decades, actual accountability must feel like an existential crisis.
Predictably, union leaders like Doreen Greenwald are throwing tantrums, calling the administration’s efforts an “illegal end-run on Congress.” Ah, yes, because we all know how much Congress loves to create agencies but somehow never manages to shrink them. Greenwald’s statement reads like a desperate attempt to keep the gravy train running, but the reality is simple: The American people elected Trump to drain the swamp, and that’s exactly what he’s doing.
The unions aren’t the only ones failing in court. Two other federal judges also ruled against efforts to block the firings, including Judge Tanya Chutkan—you know, the same judge who went after Trump in that absurd Jack Smith case. Even she couldn’t justify interfering, which really tells you all you need to know.
Bottom line: The mass firings are happening, the unions are losing, and the deep state is finally being forced to face reality. And if that causes “disruption and chaos” in Washington, that just means things are finally moving in the right direction.
