The firings have begun.
We don’t know how many people are involved in the firings but we will likely hear from unions soon. All the Republicans wanted was a clean bill for seven weeks so they could plan the appropriation bills. It goes much further then subsidies for Obamacare, which is failing by the way. They put $1.5 trillion in waste in a seven week bill that included hundreds of billions of dollars in healthcare for illegal aliens.
The Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought announced on Friday that the government has started firing federal workers as the government shutdown drags on.
On Friday, the White House budget chief posted on X: “The RIFs have begun.” This is ten days into the shutdown.
We don’t know yet how many people are involved in the firings.
All Republicans wanted was a clean bill for seven weeks so they could plan the appropriation bills. The firings will cover all departments in HHS as one example of how it’s going.
Open the damn government, Democrats. Instead of that, they are planning to sue. It’s what their hardcore left members want. They figure they will win the PR war and that is all they care about. They’re using the employees as their human shields.
BREAKING: THOUSANDS of federal employees are going to be laid off now by OMB Director Russ Vought as a result of Chuck Schumer's government shutdown
Keep going. Slash as much as possible. This is what the Democrats wanted. pic.twitter.com/te1fEZKGmI

Good, fire All the democrat sympathizers.
Many federal departments and agencies should be closed down permanently. Why do we need, for instance: a Department of Labor, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Environmental Protection Agency, Health and Human Services, etc, etc, etc. Shut them all down, excepting Department of War, Department of State and Department of Justice.
“…but we will likely hear from unions soon.”
— FOLLOWED BY DOZENS AND DOZENS OF LAWLESS, CORRUPT, LEFT-TARD OBOZO, CLINTON AND BIDEN-AUTOPEN JOKE JUDGES WHO WILL DEMAND THAT EVERY FIRED USELESS BUREAUCRAT BE PUT BACK ON FULL TAXPAYER-FUNDED PAY.
We are long past time to play around. Notice how most of Trump’s departments, other than one, are in on the fight to save the nation? They react quickly, following Trump’s agenda.
“They’re using the employees as their human shields.”
Even more they are trying to get sympathy and anti-Republican votes in the key state election in about three weeks in states like New Jersey and Virginia where they have a number of disgusting candidates not fit for office. Republican candidates are surging.
fire them, any that are non-essential they should not be there anyway. The economy will take a hit for a while, not sure how it couldn’t with the number of people that could be fired from federal gov. But do it now and it will recover before the midterms
I think the only hit the economy will take is in the imagination of the media.
