A correction. The paper has carried a Schedule F framing across four editions — April 17 through April 20 — that was wrong. We said no union, bar association, or legal defense fund had filed against the Trump administration's civil-service reclassification. [1] An amended complaint in PEER v. Trump (D.Md., 8:25-cv-00260, before Judge Paula Xinis) has been active since March 5, 2026, brought by AFGE, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, PEER, and Democracy Forward. [1] [2]

What we meant — the narrower and truer claim — is that no new filing has been tied to the April 17 50,000-worker reclassification of 50,000 federal employees. Today is Day 4 of that narrower silence. The April 19 carried-forward framing said "Day 3, no lawsuits." That sentence, measured against the March 5 amended complaint, was false. Reuters, Govexec, and FedWeek have each reported the active case accurately since March 4 and March 5. [2] [3] The paper did not.

The amended complaint names OPM's final Schedule F rule and seeks to invalidate both the executive order and the rule under the Civil Service Reform Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the Constitution. Judge Xinis has not yet set a hearing date on the amended pleadings. Democracy Forward's X timeline has carried the case since filing. Our own standing Corrections item in Sunday's lead covered the April 18 Hormuz flag-filter framing; today's item covers a four-edition error that the April 18 item did not catch.

We regret the wider error. We thank the reader who wrote to name it.
