Washington — The Supreme Court spent much of its most recent term responding to a fire hose of requests for emergency relief sought by the Trump administration, as President Trump's efforts to implement key aspects of his second-term agenda were stymied by lower courts on several fronts.

SCOTUS allowed President Trump’s federal workforce cuts to proceed temporarily, pausing a lower court block while legal challenges continue.

The Tuesday decision said that Trump's executive order directing agencies to develop workforce reduction plans is likely lawful.
