Nada About A Million Lost to the Ether But He’ll Sue the Feds in a Heartbeat

But He’ll Sue the Feds in a Heartbeat

Well, sir, it ain’t much of a surprise that Attorney General Aaron Ford doesn’t take kindly to DOGE, as he won’t even spare a sideways glance at nearly a million dollars gone missing in some Internet rigmarole in Lovelock. But turn your back for one second, and he’s already saddled up, riding into court with a posse of 19 other attorneys general, ready to give the federal government what-for over some pink slips.

A federal judge in Maryland, perhaps feeling particularly charitable toward the working man, has seen fit to grant a temporary restraining order against 18 federal agencies, forbidding them from sending probationary employees packing and even ordering them to round up the poor souls they already fired and put ‘em back on the payroll. The lawsuit, spearheaded by Ford and his fellow legal wranglers, argues that these mass firings—ordered by none other than President Trump and DOGE—have caused “irreparable injuries” to Nevada and other states.

The judge, evidently seeing merit in their bellyaching, agreed to halt the whole business.

Ford, never one to miss a chance at a grand proclamation, issued a statement dripping with righteous indignation:

“This ruling not only requires the Trump Administration to stop these indiscriminate and unlawful layoffs but also orders it to undo the harm inflicted on Nevada by restoring the jobs of hardworking federal employees. These mass firings reflect a disregard for both the law and the essential role of the civil service in maintaining government stability.”

Some lovely words, certainly, but one questions whether his enthusiasm could be summoned for the small issue of the disappearing Lovelock Internet funds.
