A federal judge has greenlit the government worker buyout program to continue

Overnight, a judge cleared the way for federal workers to take President Trump’s buyout offer. So far, more than 80,000 federal employees have signed up.

Some people have had concerns about how this might impact USDA. We are not sure how many of those employees have taken the buyout.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley told us his office has taken hundreds of calls since the offer was made.
