Liberals don't want to work 40 hours a week

A group of left-wing Capitol Hill staffers want a 32 hour work week

"They are calling on lawmakers to implement a 32-hour work week when Congress is out of session, claiming the policy will reduce burnout and increase employee retention. 😂

The Congressional Progressive Staff Association (CPSA) — which describes itself as “an official congressional staff organization whose mission is to advance the interests of current and prospective progressive staffers” — drafted an open letter to be sent later Thursday that requests a reduced workweek, with the stated aim of “improv[ing] worker satisfaction, increas[ing] staff retention in Congress, and model[ing] a more sustainable approach to work on a national level,” according to the letter.

The policy would establish a 32-hour work week for Capitol Hill staffers when Congress isn’t in session, as well as a 32-hour work week for district office employees when Congress is in session."

It won't happen with DOGE. “I’m hearing via allies that federal government unions are scrambling to update their collective bargaining agreements to avoid getting fired,” Ramaswamy wrote on X Monday. “The prospect of being asked to return to the office 5 days per week like most working Americans apparently has them ‘in tears.'”

DACA migrants' work permits to be decided by SCOTUS

Oral Arguments went before the Supreme Court yesterday--

Justice Department to Supreme Court: We Can’t Give Work Permits to DACA Migrants

The DOJ (Department of Justice) has informed SCOTUS that they lack the authority to give illegal immigrants enrolled in DACA program work permits. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday on whether the DACA program is constitutional or not. The decision will probably not be revealed until June of 2020. It’s sister program, DAPA ( Deferred Action for Parental Accountability) has already ended. That case went to the Supreme Court just after Antonin Scalia died and the vote was 4-4, so that allows the decision of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to stand. The 5th Circuit ruled that DAPA was unconstitutional.

The court ruled that although Barack Obama had the power to defer deportation, he did not have the power to bestow benefits not approved by Congress. That would mean that DACA is also unconstitutional and for the same reason. The ruling affects the hundreds of thousands now currently enrolled in DACA, 80% of whom are from Mexico. Mexico has already issued a “friend of the court” brief, encouraging the court to find in favor of the program. There are actually several work permit programs in effect that allows illegal and legal foreigners to receive work permits. This action would affect two of those programs and have the potential to add over 1 million jobs for Americans.
