“We are toast.”
A staffer at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – the target of especially steep cuts by the Trump administration – after a Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for the president to resume firing federal workers. The court lifted a lower-court order that had blocked the administration from laying off thousands of workers because it hadn’t first consulted with Congress. The staffer said she started looking for new jobs months ago, but all her potential opportunities would mean taking a pay cut. (Washington Post)
