WASHINGTON — Newly installed Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. verbally rescinded the layoffs of 950 Indian Health Service employees Friday evening, just hours after the workers were told by phone that they were losing their jobs, sources familiar with the notification told ICT.

The layoff orders for IHS were rescinded about 6 p.m. Eastern on Friday, Feb. 14, and the official email notifications of the layoffs were never sent to the probationary employees who expected to receive them, sources said.

I have the feeling the next few years will have as many plot twists and as much chaos as a reality tv show.

Apparently a lot of folks are addicted to the excitement and uncertainty and the media feeds the addiction.

I don't think the "Peace Time Draft Dodger" wants to get the backbone of the military's front line fighters too upset...

Yep, he did.  It will be interesting to see how many of his opponents give him due credit for it.

I don't agree with his opinions on vaccines, and he may never budge from that, but wouldn't it be great if he turned out to be a strong leftwing sheep in MAGA wolf's clothing?  I know, I'm dreaming. But I will be watching him.

Very much so....

One wonders how president Musk will react to a direct violation of an order from the acting commander in chief? 

It was signed with a texta and everything.

I think with the help of Steve Bannon, president Musk may no longer be president soon.  Unfortunately that leaves one other person to finally get to be president or to actually run everything besides his HHS duties.

I don't know about that, Musk has invested millions in this. He's not going to go away quietly, I'd expect a coup first.

Uncertainty for sure. Someone that has that many billions under their money belt can be too big fat to fail or pushed out, but stranger things have happened. I don't believe it will happen, but we just never really know with all the crazy stuff that is going on now.

The schizophrenia/multiple personality disorder the government has right now is terrible.  One voice says fire them while the other tries to hire them back.  If it were me, I would be asking for a pay increase, if I went back at all.
