WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump's administration is expected on Friday to move ahead with a second wave of mass firings and budget cuts across the U.S. government, just one day after two federal judges ordered the reinstatement of thousands of workers.

Federal agencies had faced a Thursday deadline to submit large-scale downsizing plans as part of Trump's push to radically remake the federal bureaucracy, a task he has largely left to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. So far, DOGE has overseen potential cuts of more than 100,000 jobs across the 2.3 million-member federal civilian workforce, the freezing of foreign aid, and the cancellation of thousands of programs and contracts.

Opponents of Trump's radical remaking of government have tried to slow him with lawsuits. Rulings in federal courts in California and Maryland on Thursday ordered agencies to reinstate thousands of probationary employees who had been dismissed in recent weeks.

The White House, calling the judges partisan activists, vowed to fight back. The California ruling has already been appealed. "This injunction is entirely unconstitutional," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Friday. "You cannot have a low-level District Court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the president of the United States."

"You cannot have a low-level District Court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the president of the United States."

There IS no "executive authority" that subverts what Congress ORDERED you to "uphold". The judge is there to school you on that.

1. Trumpty is begging to be relieved of command.

2. Who's gonna do that? The ONLY way that happens is if 30% (or more) of Americans go to DC

to DEMAND it. And maybe not even then.

3. Trump can only sign spending Bills or veto them and anything else is unconstitutional.

The Republicans in Congress are violating the Constitution as well by not stopping him.

4. I seriously wonder what it's going to take to remove this illegal and evil AF regime from power.

They are clearly abusing it, and it's not just borderline tyranny - it is tyranny.

5. Ohhh my...I'm starting to see already how much BETTER it is already with Trump knowing

the budget bill will be passed. He's really calmed down!
