A multi-national, borderless crime syndicate that infiltrates National governments and steers them towards ruin, bankruptcy, war and slavery
That champions child sextrafficking
That monetizes human relationships
That spreads disinformation and hate
Thats using AI to create false Gods and sin
I'd say the end of America began with GIRLS GONE WILD video series and 976CHAT era and culminated in the Kadashians-OJ Simpson media debacle which gave rise to the russo-East Coast child sex trafficking military leader extortion ring
..my thought board conclusion
Everyone's guilty
#murdersexporn
You can't monetize human relationships and expect anything less than treason
The US Constitution is a moral document meant to champion the empathetic evolution of commerce and its design to protect, shield, clothe, feed and educate its Adherents

February 23 to March 7, 2026
Your weekly update on NTEU-related litigation challenging the administration's attacks on federal employees. |
|
Notable Updates NTEU FOIA Lawsuit Against OPM UPDATE: NTEU filed a lawsuit on November 14 because the administration has failed to disclose lists of federal positions to be moved to Schedule Policy/Career, as required by the Freedom of Information Act. The government filed its answer on December 15. The government has now responded to NTEU that it has responsive documents, but is withholding them in full because they are allegedly privileged.
AFGE’s Challenge to Mass RIFs UPDATE: A lower court blocked RIFs at many agencies, but the Supreme Court stayed that order. On February 10, AFGE filed a motion for a temporary restraining order concerning imminent personnel actions at FEMA. The district judge converted the motion into one for a preliminary injunction and held a hearing on the motion on March 3. Following the hearing, the judge ordered the government to produce additional evidence because of inconsistencies between an agency staffer’s previous sworn declaration and the arguments from government counsel at the hearing.
Challenge to Voice of America Dismantling UPDATE: On March 7, a district judge ruled in the plaintiffs’ favor, concluding that Kari Lake’s appointment as acting CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America, was unlawful. The judge accordingly ruled that all actions undertaken by Lake in that position were void and must be undone, including the agency’s August 2025 reductions in force.
AFT’s Challenge to Dismantling FCMS UPDATE: On February 27, the government appealed a New York district court’s ruling in favor of the American Federation of Teachers to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The lower court agreed with AFT that the administration’s dismantling of the Federal Conciliation and Mediation Service was unlawful.
Loyalty Test Challenge UPDATE: AFGE and other federal unions filed a lawsuit in the District of Massachusetts, challenging a feature of the administration’s Merit Hiring Plan that would require federal job applicants to answer an essay question related to the administration’s policies. The district judge will hold a hearing on Wednesday, March 11, to consider the unions’ motion for a preliminary injunction and both parties’ arguments for or against the motion.
NTEU Challenge to Shutdown RIFs UPDATE: A judge granted the unions’ request for a preliminary injunction blocking reductions-in-force during the government shutdown. The unions’ request for additional protection was also granted on December 15, extending the ban on RIFs through the end of January. The order declared that any RIF notices sent between October 1 and November 12 are invalid and must be rescinded. On March 6, the administration filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that all of the unions’ claims are now moot following the end of the shutdown.
Mass Exclusions Executive Orders As of today, the executive orders removing about a dozen federal agencies from coverage of the labor statute are in effect, including at NTEU-represented agencies. We continue to fight the President’s unlawful actions. All pending court challenges to the mass exclusions executive orders in the D.C. district court are now paused pending resolution of the D.C. Circuit appeal in NTEU’s challenge to the March 27, 2025 Executive Order.
NTEU’s Challenge to March 27, 2025 Order Excluding Bargaining Units The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on December 15, 2025, on whether to reinstate the preliminary injunction and restore union rights. On February 26, we notified the court of the Ninth Circuit’s decision in the case AFGE brought to challenge the Executive Order. We explained that it establishes that unions can bring such challenges in court and are not limited to only seeking relief through administrative agencies. The government responded to our notice the next day. Our lower court case remains paused pending the appellate court’s decision. (Read more.)
NTEU’s Challenge to August 28 Order Excluding Bargaining Units NTEU is challenging the order that strips union rights from employees in the Office of the Commissioner for Patents within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The court has paused this case pending the DC Circuit Court’s decision in the appeal regarding the broader Exclusions Executive Order. (Read more).
AFGE’s Challenge to Bargaining Unit Exclusions AFGE filed a lawsuit in California to challenge the March 27, 2025 Executive Order as it pertains to several of AFGE’s bargaining units. The district court entered a preliminary injunction halting the Order as to those BUs. The government appealed that ruling, and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on January 12.
On February 26, the Ninth Circuit issued its decision. It rejected the government’s argument that the district court did not have jurisdiction over AFGE’s lawsuit because the claims should have been brought to the Federal Labor Relations Authority. And the Ninth Circuit indicated that AFGE had showed irreparable harm based on the harm to its collective bargaining agreements. But the Ninth Circuit held that AFGE was unlikely to succeed on its First Amendment claim, which was the basis of the district court’s preliminary injunction, and ruled for the government. As a reminder, NTEU’s preliminary injunction, which is on appeal to the D.C. Circuit, was based on a different legal claim—a claim that the President exceeded his authority under our labor statute. More on Mass Firings of Probationary Employees & RIFs NTEU's Challenge to Mass Firings & RIFs On February 27, 2026, the Court paused further proceedings in this case until the D.C. Circuit rules on NTEU’s exclusions order case (above) and until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the status of independent agencies, such as the Federal Labor Relations Authority. The Court struck the government's motion to dismiss our case—which has been fully briefed since August 2025—and indicated that the parties will redo that briefing after the two decisions noted above issue. (Read more.)
AFGE’s Challenge to Mass Probationary Firings The judge sided with AFGE and found that the Office of Personnel Management unlawfully ordered mass firings of probationary employees across multiple agencies and directed most defendant-agencies to correct personnel records and clarify that the employees were not removed based on their job performance. The government has appealed.
States’ Challenge to Mass Firings at HHS The preliminary injunction blocking the mass firings remains in place while the government appeals. The states are opposing the government’s motion to dismiss the case.
HHS Employees’ Class Action Challenge to Improper RIFs On June 3, 2025, a group of HHS employees filed a suit challenging the RIFs issued by the agency on April 1, 2025. The RIFs were challenged as improper because they relied on inaccurate personnel records and illegal because those records were shared with DOGE, OPM, and OMB in violation of the Privacy Act. In a January 22, 2026 opinion, the court found that the employees’ case could proceed against the agencies. The employees are attempting to certify a class of all HHS employees who received April 1 RIF notices. The court has asked both parties to brief the class action issue in the coming months.
NTEU’s Challenge to Schedule Policy/Career NTEU filed a lawsuit on January 20, 2025 challenging the executive order to reclassify federal employees with the goal of removing their due process rights. NTEU’s case was paused while OPM finalized a final rule rescinding certain pro-employee regulations. OPM has now published that final rule along with related guidance for agencies. NTEU intends to amend its complaint to include updated factual developments.
NTEU’s Challenge to Firings at CFPB On February 24, the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on our challenge to the administration’s attempts to shut down the CFPB through mass firings. Most of the judges’ questions focused on the district court’s power to pause reductions in force at CFPB to make sure the agency keeps functioning while the court case plays out. We expect a decision within a few months. In the meantime, the district court’s preliminary injunction order remains in effect. (Read more.)
