Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders launched a probe into Trump’s unprecedented firings of Democratic members of the NLRB and EEOC.

The dismissals, including NLRB’s Gwynne Wilcox and EEOC Chair Charlotte Burrows, eliminated agency quorums, hampering their functions.

Legal scholars argue these firings violate long-standing precedent protecting independent agency leaders. Wilcox and others plan legal action.

Sanders warned the moves weaken labor protections, while the EEOC, under new leadership, is already rolling back workplace gender identity protections.

      Does and will until he dies. It’s over. Time to give up before the death squads start to comb through you internet history and decide you’re too liberal to live. I’m being completely serious. It’s over for the US. There’s no sense in even living anymore.
