Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.

1. So Trump is telling folks who are laid off from Fed places that he will break the law

once again.
I can imagine there are folks who are drawing from their savings just to pay car payments, mogage etc and those who borrowed money. whow what a mess. I feel bad for them.
And it does nothing for their health with all this stress!!

Wow. Thousands of furloughed federal workers lined up in Maryland today to get food. Remember the last time we saw something like this? Yeah, Trump was president then, too.
