💨 Abstract

President Trump's administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow its plans to downsize the federal workforce to proceed, despite an ongoing lawsuit and an appeals court decision allowing a lower court's halt on the cuts. The administration argues it has the authority to make these changes without explicit congressional approval. Over 75,000 federal employees are already affected, and the cuts are impacting multiple key agencies. The Supreme Court has set a deadline for responses from the opposing unions and cities.
