Trump administration wants to streamline federal worker layoffs
The Trump administration is proposing a new rule on how the government conducts mass layoffs after last year’s cuts led by Trump adviser Elon Musk were mired in legal challenges and confusion. The Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s HR arm, published a proposed rule Thursday that it says will streamline the layoff process and put a new emphasis on job performance rankings rather than seniority. If finalized, the proposed rule would require agencies to sort employees with a rubric that prioritizes their three most recent ratings, with a preference for veterans. The proposed rule also would exclude probationary employees from layoffs, after the Trump administration had conducted a massive purge of those employees last year. The administration has also proposed transferring responsibility for reviewing federal employee appeals of proposed layoffs.

Democrats say Noem’s firing isn’t enough to end DHS shutdown
Democrats cheered her departure but said it wasn’t enough to end the DHS shutdown that will soon enter its fourth week. “This is a problem of policy, not personnel,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) told reporters Thursday. Congressional Democrats have swapped offers with the White House, but an agreement remains elusive. Noem’s chosen replacement, former House member and now-Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma), is a known quantity to both chambers. “The White House and Republicans have been willing to codify reforms and changes that Democrats have asked for, but right now it’s never enough,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota).
