Roll Call
President Donald Trump’s budget office plans to advise federal program managers to fire employees whose paychecks are financed by annual appropriations if a partial government shutdown begins Oct. 1, rather than just furloughing them as is the usual practice.
An Office of Management and Budget memo, obtained Wednesday night ahead of it being sent to agency heads, said they should consider reduction-in-force or “RIF” notices in cases where there’s no other funding mechanism and the activity they work on is “not consistent with the President’s priorities.”
Congress has not yet passed a stopgap funding patch to tide agencies over beyond the end of the current fiscal year. The House on Friday passed a “clean” seven-week extension, but Senate Democrats blocked it because it would not, among other things, renew expiring health insurance tax credits and roll back health care cuts enacted in Republicans’ “big, beautiful” budget package this summer.

Beads of sweat are forming on foreheads.
too bad fo de ******-grifters & illegal aliens
No way, they’ll never do it. They live on money.
Works for me.
Take that Chuck, and shove it up your ass!
That would definitely kickstart
making America great again.
Niiiiiiiiice… God, do I love this POTUS.

I guess that they’ll pass that CR as is very soon (within 5 days)
I sure don’t hear “TACO” anymore.
This is a win-win situation.
I think the Dems will shut it down. He’s beaten them bloody. They’re backs are against the wall. Time to pull the pin on the Holy Hand Grenade. Dem leader ship is sharp as a marble.
The parallels to Harding’s presidency are amazing.
Let’s pray that not everything is parallel…
I sure looks like the Dem ‘leadership’ didn’t see this coming, which makes them even stupider than I had imagined. Those mouth-breathers are so dumb I’m surprised they haven’t drowned in a rainstorm by looking up to see what’s hitting them on the head.
“I triple-dog dare you”!
Remember when THEY called US “non-essential”?
If they are “working from home,” playing video games and viewing online porn all day, get them gone
I am bought in. Lets start with firing about half the Generals and flag officers who are card carrying democrats. RLTW!
All FAA employees, including myself (to the best of my knowledge) are paid from annual appropriations. I don’t see all air traffic in the US being cancelled indefinitely.
