Trump seeks Supreme Court approval for federal layoffs

The Trump administration has returned to the Supreme Court with an emergency appeal to reverse a lower court order that blocked mass layoffs and reorganizations at federal agencies, a case that tests the president's authority over federal staffing. The case follows an executive order signed by Trump in February to reduce the federal workforce, affecting over 121,000 employees across multiple agencies. The 9th Circuit Court previously ruled that the order exceeded presidential powers, and the Supreme Court's decision could significantly impact the president's ability to reshape the federal government.
