Federal agency RIFs will proceed

The Supreme Court is allowing implementation of an executive order calling for mass reductions in the federal workforce—for now, lifting a district court order that prohibited the government from carrying out the executive order while appeals continue.

Here's the money quote: "Because the Government is likely to succeed on its argument that the Executive Order and Memorandum are lawful—and because the other factors bearing on whether to grant a stay are satisfied— we grant the application."

Trump v. AFGE (07/08/2025) [PDF]. The order was unsigned, with only one dissent.
