“We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.”
NEW: Judge has paused the deferred resignation offer for federal employees while he determines its legality. No specific date. Without a deadline, no compelling reason to commit to the offer in the meantime. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

The civil service keeps us all safe.
CREW, Democracy Forward sue to block Trump's illegal plan to fire government workers
