Judge clears way for Trump's plan to downsize federal workforce with deferred resignation program
Briefly

A federal judge has allowed President Trump's deferred resignation program, aimed at downsizing the federal workforce. The program, described as a buyout, is designed to incentivize employees to quit voluntarily, with reports indicating significant interest. The initiative is being led by Elon Musk, acting as Trump's adviser on federal spending cuts, who envisions a managed transition for employees adapting to remote work policies. Labor unions challenged the legality of the program but lacked standing in court, allowing the administration to proceed with enticing workers to leave by September 30.
