"Anxiety Grips Feds As Supreme Court Clears Path For Layoffs" [1]

"“We’re going to be operating immediately,” a White House official said Wednesday." 

"Employees at energy and environmental agencies are bracing for deep cuts to their workforces and sweeping restructuring after the Supreme Court toppled a lower court’s injunction that had paused the Trump administration’s plans.

The White House is vowing to plow ahead and staffers across the government are awaiting news about their agencies’ next steps following a Supreme Court order issued Tuesday that paves the way for layoffs to proceed.

That move impacts more than a dozen agencies — comprising EPA; the National Science Foundation; the departments of Energy, the Interior, Commerce and Agriculture; and others — where a California district judge halted President Donald Trump’s layoff plans in May."
