Court Blocks Trump's Layoffs; Hamas: All Accessible Remains Returned | NTD Good MorningA federal judge in California halted President Donald Trump's federal layoffs on Wednesday, with the government shutdown now entering day 16. Amid the gridlock between the two parties, a high-profile debate is set to take place between Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Meanwhile, Senate leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is expected to hold a procedural vote on Thursday to fund the Pentagon for the full 2026 fiscal year. The move is in line with Trump's emergency measures to ensure U.S. troops are paid. Democrats have not yet said how they plan to vote on the bill.Israel says it has identified two more hostages among the bodies returned from Gaza so far, namely 27-year-old Inbar Hayman and 39-year-old Sgt. Muhammad al-Ataresh. In a phone call to CNN, Trump said he would consider allowing Netanyahu to resume military operations in Gaza if the Hamas terrorist group failed to meet the terms of the cease-fire agreement. Hamas said it has handed over all hostage remains it can access, claiming it needs special equipment to recover the rest of the bodies.Trump has confirmed that he authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela, and said U.S. land strikes there are now under consideration. Venezuela is calling the actions a violation of international law. Some members of Congress from both parties say the president's actions, including strikes on drug boats, effectively amount to acts of war without congressional authorization. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard says it has seized over 100,000 pounds of cocaine since August as part of Operation Pacific Viper.
This Day in Legal History: Nuremberg ExecutionsOn October 16, 1946, ten prominent Nazi war criminals were executed by hanging in the aftermath of the landmark Nuremberg Trials, held to prosecute key figures of the Third Reich for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against peace. The executions marked the culmination of months of legal proceedings conducted by an international military tribunal composed of judges from the Allied powers: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and France. Among those hanged was Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's former Foreign Minister, convicted for his role in orchestrating Nazi foreign policy and enabling the Holocaust.The trials had concluded in late September 1946, with 12 of the 22 main defendants receiving death sentences. However, Hermann Göring, one of the most high-profile defendants and head of the Luftwaffe, committed suicide by cyanide just hours before his scheduled execution. The hangings took place inside the gymnasium of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, where the tribunal had convened, and were carried out in the early morning hours.The executions were overseen by U.S. Army personnel, and steps were taken to document them for historical record. The event was viewed by many as a pivotal moment in the establishment of international criminal law, affirming that individuals—even heads of state and high-ranking officials—could be held personally accountable for war atrocities. These proceedings laid the groundwork for future tribunals, including those for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.Some criticized the process as “victor's justice,” pointing to perceived inconsistencies in sentencing and legal procedures. Nevertheless, the trials represented a significant shift from the post-World War I approach, which had failed to adequately prosecute war crimes. The executions on October 16 symbolized not only the end of an era of unchecked totalitarian violence but also the beginning of a new international legal order based on accountability and the rule of law.A federal judge in California has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's latest wave of federal layoffs, calling the move likely “illegal and in excess of authority.” In a sharply worded order, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston halted terminations that began last week, siding with a coalition of federal worker unions. Illston criticized the administration's approach as “ready, fire, aim” and warned that the human cost of such abrupt cuts is unacceptable.The layoffs—over 4,100 in total—targeted several federal agencies, with the Departments of Health and Human Services and Treasury seeing the bulk of cuts. Judge Illston's order requires the administration to report all completed and planned layoffs by Friday and set a hearing for a preliminary injunction on October 28. She also rejected the Department of Justice's attempt to steer the case toward procedural issues, stating that the legal merits were too concerning to ignore.President Trump has framed the cuts as politically motivated, stating they were aimed at eliminating programs he called “egregious socialist, semi-communist.” He added that Republican-backed programs would be spared. The administration recently lifted a long-standing hiring freeze but is now requiring agencies to submit staffing plans for approval.Union plaintiffs argue that the layoffs violate the Antideficiency Act and the Administrative Procedure Act, citing the administration's use of the government shutdown as an arbitrary justification. This case, AFGE v. OMB, marks another legal confrontation over workforce reductions, following an earlier freeze issued by Judge Illston that was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court.Trump's Shutdown-Linked Layoffs Paused by California Judge (4)The 2026 U.S. law school admissions cycle is off to an intense start, with applications up 33% compared to this time last year, according to new data from the Law School Admission Council. This surge follows last year's admissions boom and signals another highly competitive year for aspiring law students. Admissions consultant Mike Spivey noted he's never seen such a sharp early increase in over two decades of reviewing application data, predicting a likely total rise of around 20% once the cycle concludes.Several factors are driving the spike, including a tough job market for recent college graduates—whose unemployment rate now surpasses that of the broader labor force—and growing political instability. Law School Admission Council President Sudha Setty also cited concerns about the impact of AI and broader economic uncertainty as motivators for many applicants. Additionally, more people are taking the LSAT this year, up nearly 22% over 2025 levels.A recent Kaplan survey found 56% of law school admissions officers pointed to politics as a major factor behind last year's surge, with 90% expecting this cycle to be just as competitive, if not more so. Some applicants are likely reapplying after being rejected last year, or returning after delaying applications due to last year's high volume. While law schools will benefit from a deeper pool of candidates, Spivey warned the sharp increase means tougher odds for acceptance across the board.US law school applicants increase 33%, boosting competition | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's decision to fund military pay during the ongoing government shutdown is only a short-term solution, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. On Wednesday, Johnson confirmed that 1.3 million active-duty service members, along with tens of thousands of National Guard and reservists, were paid using $6.5 billion in unused military research and development funds. However, he warned that unless Democrats act to reopen the government, troops are unlikely to receive their next paycheck on October 31.The White House has not explained its legal rationale for this funding maneuver, and it hasn't requested the required congressional approvals to shift funds between accounts. Federal law caps such transfers at $8 billion annually and only allows them if the funds are used for their legally designated purposes. Without further funding authority, it's unclear how the administration could cover future military pay. While many lawmakers support a standalone bill to guarantee troop pay, Republican leaders—including Johnson and Senate Majority Whip John Thune—are resisting that option. They argue that doing so would reduce pressure to end the shutdown overall.Some Republicans, like Sen. Lisa Murkowski, say the move has reduced urgency in Congress while leaving other federal workers unpaid. The political optics are further complicated by Trump's claim that only Democrat-backed programs are being cut, as he seeks to frame the issue as partisan. Internally, GOP leaders worry that passing targeted funding bills could open the door to broader demands for agency-by-agency funding relief, weakening their leverage in shutdown negotiations.By way of brief background, the move likely violates the Antideficiency Act (ADA), which bars federal officials from spending money before or beyond congressional appropriations. Trump reportedly ordered the Department of Defense to divert funds from the RDT&E account—meant for weapons research—to cover military payroll. That account is not legally authorized for such use, and the funds may have also exceeded their availability period.This raises two major legal issues. First, under the Appropriations Clause (Article I, § 9, cl. 7), only Congress may authorize government spending. The president cannot repurpose funds without specific legislative approval. Second, the ADA prohibits both misappropriation of purpose (spending money on unauthorized functions) and misappropriation of timing (using expired funds). If proven willful, such violations can carry criminal penalties, though prosecutions are rare.Beyond the legal breach, this act could set a dangerous precedent. If courts decline to intervene, it could signal that future presidents—regardless of party—can redirect federal funds without congressional consent. This would erode legislative power and potentially turn the presidency into a de facto appropriations authority, undermining the Constitution's separation of powers.Special thanks to Bobby Kogan, the Senior Director of Federal Budget Policy for the Center for American Progress, for his instructive Bluesky post explaining the deficiency issue in a way much clearer and more succinctly than I otherwise would have been able to.Trump's troop pay move is a ‘temporary fix,' Johnson says - Live Updates - POLITICOPost by @did:plc:drfb2pdjlnsqkfgsoellcahm — BlueskyA piece I wrote for Forbes this week looks at how Norway is showing the rest of the world how to end EV subsidies without wrecking the market. The country announced in its latest budget that it will phase out its long-standing value-added tax (VAT) exemption for electric vehicles—partially in 2026, and fully by 2027. This might seem like a policy retreat, but the timing is deliberate: EVs now make up 95–98% of new car sales in Norway. The market has matured, and the subsidy is no longer essential.I argue that this is what smart policy looks like—temporary support that steps aside when it's no longer needed. The U.S., by contrast, killed its federal EV tax credit abruptly and politically, without phasing it out or adapting it for current market conditions. In doing so, it treated the credit as a political symbol rather than a market tool. Norway, on the other hand, used the exemption strategically, aligning it with broader policy goals and allowing it to sunset once those goals were met.The piece highlights how the U.S. often fears both removing and maintaining subsidies, caught in a cycle where incentives become political footballs. Norway's approach offers a model for how to responsibly end subsidies: gradually, rationally, and only once the market no longer needs them. This isn't anti-EV or anti-climate policy—it's a sign that the original policy worked.Norway Shows How To End EV Subsidies Without Killing The Market This is a public episode.

This week I discuss this ongoing trend of layoff announcements, typically coupled to “AI.” And as you'll hear, this is quite a complex topic which gets into company culture, labor relations, and ultimately long term business strategy. A new article in The Economist claims that “Europe Crushes Innovation” because of its old-fashioned labor rules. The point they make, which I discuss, is that forcing companies to “hold on” to workers stunts growth and innovation. While I can't argue with the data, I believe it's not that simple. So listen to this podcast and see if our “Dynamic Organization” model makes more sense. You can explore all the dynamics in this podcast by getting Galileo®, the world's AI assistant for HR and Leadership. Galileo can assess your company in this area of maturity and give you essential action-items to help with your own team or company's AI transformation. (Prompt: “my company is xyz, we're in industry abc, our business issues are xxx, would you benchmark me against the dynamic organization research and help me identify the leadership, management, and HR practices I need to accelerate my AI transformation?”) Anyway listen in, I'd love your comments.

City Council is meeting today to debate amendments to the mayor's proposed budget for 2026, and it could get spicy! Because Mayor Mike Johnston been facing a lot of criticism for the way he's handled the city's $250 million shortfall lately. He laid off workers. He asked every department to look for cuts. Clerk and Recorder Paul López even said the mayor's proposed cuts represent ”a threat to democracy.” And as López and other critics have pointed out, the mayor did not ask police or firefighters to delay raises. Producer Paul Karolyi gets the rare chance to hear directly from the chief of the Denver Fire Department, Desmond Fulton, about why his department's proposed budget for 2026 is actually increasing and what that has to do with the past few years of political upheaval inside his department. Paul referenced CBS reporter Brian Maass's ongoing investigation into Chief Fulton's comp time scandal, which Brian came on the pod to talk about in March after the firefighters' 64% no-confidence vote. Maass also reported on the contract negotiations in May that resulted in the firefighters getting 10% raises over the next two years.

After simultaneous layoffs, Mike Deaton and his wife rejected the default return to corporate life. Instead, they clarified core values, defined anti-values, and designed a purpose-led path into real estate—launching Flipping Dirt, a coaching practice, and partnerships in commercial syndications. Mike connects mindset, health, and business through ultra-endurance training, showing how grit, clear decision frameworks, and value-driven operations translate to profit without losing integrity. This direct conversation breaks down how to rank your values, avoid reactive choices, and turn a crisis into a practical roadmap for entrepreneurship and life. About the guest : Mike Deaton is a former big-tech leader (Motorola, Nokia, Microsoft) turned real-estate entrepreneur, coach, and ultra-endurance athlete. He co-founded Flipping Dirt, has partnered on major commercial deals, and now builds Life Elevated, a personal brand focused on performance, grit, and purpose. Key takeaways: Values are decision filters: ranking core values and defining anti-values reduces anxiety and speeds choices under pressure. Safety is a mindset, not a salary: a layoff can expose false security and open the door to owner-driven control. Design the day first: journaling an “ideal day” helps reverse-engineer business models, schedules, and priorities. Mission > margins: lead with a client-serving mission (e.g., accessible owner financing) and margins follow sustainably. Review cadence matters: revisit vision, mission, and metrics quarterly to prevent drift toward short-term profits only. Authenticity converts: when values drive offers and delivery, brands resonate and buyer trust increases. Endurance mindset for business: break “100-mile” goals into the next mile/aid station—small, winnable steps compound. Get a guide: a coach or structured framework accelerates clarity during transitions. Time audit: reclaim minutes from passive scrolling for reflective work that compounds returns.

Economy Eurozone Construction Keeps Shrinking As Orders And Jobs Fall Construction activity, new orders, and jobs in France and Germany took another hit in September, while Italy stood out with rare gains—but cost pressures and weak demand still weigh heavily across the region. Construction activity across the eurozone slumped again last month, with the HCOB Construction PMI falling to 46.0—showing continued declines in major markets like France and Germany, even though Italy bucked the trend with rare growth. What does this mean? Eurozone builders are having a rough ride. September saw new orders tumble in both France and Germany, dragging down residential and commercial construction to their lowest points in months. Layoffs are picking up in these countries as firms react to thin pipelines and soft demand.
