Today on AOTA Shorts: They said they were going to do it before the election. They began the process of death by 1000 cuts (or a few dozen cuts as it may be) in week one when they took office. And now that the government shutdown continues, the clearly unconstitutional goal of ending the US Department of Education has been made this week, with Trump and Linda McMahon laying off nearly every worker in the USDOE Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. But, as with all things fascist and unconstitutional coming out of this administration, the federal employees labor union sued, and a judge has temporarily halted the administration's ability to proceed with these, and many other cuts to federal agencies. Will the ruling hold? Will the Trump administration abide by the court’s ruling at all? We shall see. Manuel and Jeff discuss!Woah, new format!
