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

      They know EXACTLY what they are doing. They KNOW that we will be pissed at being swindled and RAPED by these crooks but now they have tons of armed guards.

      Sure would be a shame if a crowd of several thousand people rounded up every politician into the streets for a little discussion. remind them of who they work for.
