Judge Chutkan declines to issue a TRO in favor of 14 attorneys general. This is victory for DOGE
 
From order:

“Plaintiffs legitimately call into question what appears to be the unchecked authority of an unelected individual and an entity that was not created by Congress and over which it has no oversight. In these circumstances, it must be indisputable that this court acts within the bounds of its authority. Accordingly, it cannot issue a TRO, especially one as wide-ranging as Plaintiffs request, without clear evidence of imminent, irreparable harm to these Plaintiffs. The current record does not meet that standard.”

UPDATE: A massive fire at an aerospace manufacturer’s facility in Pennsylvania forced residents in Abington Township to shelter-in-place and close schools and businesses last night.

The 4-alarm fire broke out at SPS Technologies in Jenkintown around 9:30 p.m. Monday. Witnesses said there was an explosion, and flames could be seen inside the warehouse, according to the Abington Township Police Department.

The building was evacuated, all employees were accounted for, and no injuries were reported, but first responders may have been exposed to hazardous materials.

The New York State correctional system is in crisis. Correction officers across the state are striking and protesting unsafe working conditions, mandatory overtime, and staffing cuts that have put their lives at risk.

Recently, a violent uprising at Collins Correctional Facility in Erie County saw inmates take control of three dormitories, leaving three officers injured. This was not an isolated event—it was the direct result of a system pushed to the brink by dangerous policies. (NY Post)

Under the leadership of the Commissioner of Corrections, staffing has been slashed by 30%, forcing all facilities across New York State to operate at just 70% capacity—yet they are expected to function as though this is the new 100%. Officers are stretched thin, exhausted, and constantly working under the threat of violence. The situation is so dire that unsanctioned strikes have spread to Elmira, Groveland, and other prisons. (Times Union)

Governor Kathy Hochul and her administration must act now. This is not just about officer safety—it’s about the integrity of the entire correctional system. The state cannot continue to ignore these officers' calls for help while demanding they risk their lives daily.

The message from correction officers is clear: Restore staffing levels, end unsafe mandates, and protect those who protect the public. Until then, the fight for a safe workplace will continue.
