T he Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to move forward with an executive order mandating a restructure of federal agencies and mass layoffs of federal workers.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for the Trump administration to fire federal workers. The big picture: The decision, which lifts a federal judge's earlier order freezing the cuts, gives the administration power to resume its goal of reshaping and scaling back federal agencies.

A U.S. district judge in San Francisco had temporarily blocked large-scale federal layoffs known as "reductions in force."
