The #shutdown is the first since Jan 2019, & the 4th of #Trump’s 2 terms. Admin ofcls this time, though, have signaled plans to use the closed agencies as a way to vastly reshape the #FederalGovernment & consolidate #power under the presidency.
#OMB dir #RussVought ordered agencies to consider #MassFirings rather than #furloughs. His instructions to agencies include guidance on rewriting #regulations surrounding federal #grants & challenging #Congress’s constitutional #power over spending.

~750k #FederalWorkers are expected to be furloughed, & some fired by the #Trump admin. Many offices will be shuttered, perhaps permanently, as Trump vows to “do things that are irreversible, that are bad” as #retribution. His #deportation agenda is expected to run full speed ahead, while #education, #environmental & other #services sputter. The economic fallout is expected to ripple nationwide.

Government shutdown takes hold with mass layoffs looming and no end in sight

The federal government was thrown into a shutdown with no easy endgame in sight. Democrats held firm Wednesday to their demands to salvage health care subsidies that President Donald Trump and Republican in Congress have refused to negotiate.
