Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt.

Exclusive: #US may cut #AirTraffic 10% by Friday without #shutdown deal

The shutdown has forced 13,000 #AirTrafficControllers & 50,000 Transportation Security Administration [ #TSA] officers to work WITHOUT #PAY & snarled tens of thousands of #flights.

A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday indefinitely barred the #Trump administration from firing #FederalWorkers during the government #shutdown.

US District Judge Susan Illston granted a preliminary injunction [ #PI] that bars the firings while a lawsuit challenging them plays out. She had previously issued a temporary restraining order [ #TRO] against the job cuts that was set to expire Wednesday.

Democratic lawmakers are demanding that any deal to reopen the federal government address expiring #healthcare subsidies that have made #HealthInsurance more affordable for millions of Americans. They also want any government funding bill to reverse the #Medicaid cuts in #Trump’s big tax breaks & spending cuts bill passed this summer.

#Republican #House Speaker #MikeJohnson has refused to negotiate with #Democrats until they first agree to reopen the government.

This is now the second-longest #shutdown.

The longest shutdown occurred during Trump’s first term over his demands for funds to build the US-Mexico border wall. That one ended in 2019 after 35 days.

During a hearing on Oct 15, Illston said the layoff notices that started going out on or around Oct 10 appeared to be politically motivated and not well thought out. About 4,100 layoff notices have gone out, some sent to work email addresses that furloughed employees are not allowed to check. Some personnel were called back to work, without pay, to issue layoff notices.

The American Federation of Government Employees #AFGE & other #labor #unions have sued to stop the “reductions in force” #MassLayoffs, saying the firings were an #AbuseOfPower designed to punish #FederalWorkers & pressure #Congress.

Lawyers for the government claim the district court does not have the authority to hear personnel challenges [which is bullshit].

Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.

The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.

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.
