Trump Faces 70 Lawsuits Amid Major Federal Cutbacks

As President Trump approaches the one-month mark in his second term, he has rapidly enacted changes aimed at restructuring the federal government, including the dismissal of thousands of federal employees, many with minimal notice. Elon Musk has been a key ally in these efforts, advocating for significant cuts to federal agencies and even proposing the closure of some. These actions have largely overshadowed Trump's immigration policies and social reforms, which include the elimination of diversity programs and restrictions on transgender rights. Additionally, Trump has implemented numerous tariffs on trade partners, raising concerns about the potential impact on consumer prices and inflation. The administration’s approach has sparked widespread concern about job losses across various sectors, including critical roles in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. A judge has temporarily halted further layoffs at this agency, highlighting the legal challenges facing Trump’s aggressive agenda.
