Federal judge blocks CFPB from laying off more employees
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ordered that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau cannot terminate more employees, providing a major reprieve to staff at the agency, who have been bracing for mass layoffs. More than 100 workers have already been fired this week.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the U.S. District Court in Washington also said the agency cannot "delete" or "remove" data held by the CFPB, while also saying the agency cannot transfer money from its reserve funds unless it's for operational reasons.

Trump, Musk escalate purge as thousands fired across federal workforce
Thousands of recently hired federal workers were fired as President Donald Trump and White House official Elon Musk intensified efforts to purge the federal workforce. The cuts targeted probationary employees across multiple departments, including Education, Veterans Affairs, the EPA, and the agency overseeing nuclear weapons. These workers, hired within the past year, were easier to dismiss due to limited bargaining rights.

TikTok is back on the Apple and Google app stores
Apple and Google have returned TikTok to mobile app stores in the U.S., ending a nearly month-long standoff between the tech giants and the video platform since a law banning the app took effect in January.
By restoring the viral video platform, Apple and Google are allowing the app to be downloaded on mobile devices. It also provides a way for TikTok to send millions of Americans software updates to debug the service and provide security fixes. The tech firms yanked TikTok from app stores on Jan. 19, the date a law passed by Congress, and upheld by the Supreme Court, took effect.

Trump moves to slap reciprocal tariffs on nearly every nation, boosting trade war
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum directing his administration to pursue reciprocal tariffs against nations that impose fees on U.S. exports. While no tariffs were immediately implemented, trade officials were instructed to develop country-specific countermeasures. The tariffs will match fees, taxes, and regulations imposed on U.S. imports. Initially, Trump considered broad tariffs but later opted for a targeted approach to protect American jobs and businesses.

Trump administration set to purchase $400 million worth of armored Teslas
The Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles, according to a new State Department document detailing procurement for fiscal year 2025.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk is a top White House official who has been leading the Department of Government Efficiency, a unit focused on shrinking the federal workforce and ferreting out corruption. The document does not specify what Tesla vehicles will be purchased by U.S. officials, but Musk's Cybertruck, with its militaristic design and stainless steel exterior, could be an option.

75,000 federal workers take President Trump's buyouts as offer expires
About 75,000 federal employees accepted President Donald Trumpโs buyout offer, which closed Wednesday night. This represents 3.3% of the federal workforce, falling short of the White Houseโs 5-10% projection. A federal judge in Massachusetts lifted a pause on the program, ruling that unions lacked standing to challenge it. The buyout initiative, called "Fork in the Road," is now moving forward.

Trump meets with American teacher Marc Fogel after he was freed from a Russian prison
President Trump met with Marc Fogel at the White House Tuesday night, after making a deal with Russia to release Fogel from one of its jails. He was a teacher in Russia and was arrested in August 2021 after customs agents found medical marijuana in his luggage. Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff flew to Russia to bring Fogel home.
After landing in the U.S., Fogel, 63, met with Trump and his administration wearing an American flag draped around his neck. He told the president, "I'm in total awe, and my thanks is for you and your administration, and these amazing people that have brought me home, and I just will spend the rest of my life indebted to you ... I'm so excited."

Altimeter in Black Hawk helicopter may have malfunctioned before DCA mid-air collision
Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board gave their first on-camera briefing in almost two weeks since the January 29 mid-air collision involving a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet that was trying to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Both aircraft plunged into the Potomac River, killing all 67 people on board both aircraft.
NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said the collision between the helicopter and the "CRJ" airplane happened at 278 feet above the river. The helicopter was supposed to be no higher than 200 feet. However, Homendy says it's unclear whether the altimeters in the helicopter were showing the pilots the proper altitude. She says investigators are "seeing conflicting information in the data" and are continuing their analysis.

Baltimore and Maryland sue Glock, Inc over modifications that make pistols fire like machine guns
Baltimore City and the state of Maryland are suing Glock, Inc in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore City over the manufacture of pistols that they say can be turned into machine guns within minutes.
The lawsuit alleges that Glock pistols are especially easy to modify with the help of a device called an auto sear: an attachment to a semi-automatic firearm that allows the weapon to fire continuously as long as the trigger is compressed. Those are now illegal in Maryland thanks to a 2024 law passed by the Maryland General Assembly.

Judge declines to block Trump administration's resignation offer to federal employees
After issuing two stays, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole has declined to block the Trump administration's deferred resignation program for federal employees.
The ruling comes more than two weeks after the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent an email to more than 2 million civilian employees of the federal government with the subject line "Fork in the Road." The email presented government workers with a choice: They could resign now, in exchange for pay and benefits through the end of September, or they could remain in their positions, with the caveat that their jobs are not guaranteed.

Trump pardons disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich
President Trump has pardoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of corruption-related crimes, including trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat vacated by former President Barack Obama. Blagojevich served as the state's governor from 2003-'09. It was a political saga toward the end of his time in office.
In 2008, federal prosecutors accused Blagojevich of turning Illinois' government into a moneymaking operation for himself by trying to, among other things, shake down a children's hospital and racetrack owners. When prosecutors charged Blagojevich with corruption over the Senate seat, they presented as evidence a profanity-filled telephone conversation he had that was secretly recorded by the FBI.

Many contracts have already been canceled, according to two employees briefed on the moves. They shared screenshots with NPR of emails sent on Monday notifying them of terminated contracts.
The employees said they learned of the cuts at an emergency meeting called Monday afternoon by leaders of IES, a nonpartisan division of the Education Department that includes the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
