Fireworks day today in the news. There's so much to get to.

Most importantly, I think, thousands of people fired by Donald Trump are getting their jobs back today

because of the first round of proverbial fireworks that went off in a California federal courthouse.

And I just, just, just got the transcript of what happened there.

Trying all day to get it. Finally got it. I really want to share this with you. All right. So,

let me set the scene. Trump administration has sent a lawyer to defend them in this case,

in federal court in Northern California. But they are refusing to send any officials from the Trump

administration to testify in this case, to explain what they have done and to be questioned about it.

The basis of this case is that the Trump White House, the Office of Personnel Management and

the Trump White House, told federal agencies last month, essentially, to fire tens of

thousands of people who work for the government, potentially hundreds of thousands of people.

And then after the Trump White House, the Office of Personal Management, told the agencies to

fire all those people, then all those people got fired. And it really does not seem like that was legal.

It has never seemed like that was legal that the White House would have the authority to make those kinds of mass firings.

But again, they won't send anybody to testify about what exactly they did.

So, this is from the transcript.

So the lawyer who is suing the Trump administration says this.

Your Honor, quote, what we have before the court is record evidence that conclusively

establishes that OPM directed the terminations at issue.

We have a very unusual circumstance where the government has not mounted, has not attempted to say that they factually dispute that.

They've actually withdrawn the declaration by which they were attempting to dispute that.

And there's no record evidence on the other side by which they have disputed this fact.
