Trump Administration Live Updates: Senate Moves to Vote as Democratic Defectors Relent on Shutdown
(schumer wasn’t the defector this time)
what we got:
a provision that would call federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown back to their jobs. It also would provide funds to ensure that federal workers who were furloughed during the shutdown can receive retroactive pay [(the latter as required by a 2019 law defector Angus King passed)].
The short-term spending bill would additionally bar the Office of Management and Budget from implementing any additional mass layoffs of federal workers through Jan. 30.
what we did not:
healthcare
Traitors
exactly, once Dems decided on action it should have been all in I was against Dems forcing shutdown due to cost of living issues there and long term impact but the polls say most approve of action.
It’s terrible that people have gone through what they have, but now everyone who went through that (and will still until things get better) did it for absolutely nothing. Brilliant.
