Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay:

โ€œIt would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.โ€

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

OMBโ€™s total disdain of the federal civil service continues with another illegal tactic.

Shutdown Skies and Sanctuary Storms Trump brags of waiting lists and world peace while air traffic controllers go unpaid, courts block his ICE crusade, and America braces for turbulence.

#Shutdown skies, sanctuary storms, and Trump bragging about imaginary waiting lists while unpaid controllers keep planes circling. #PamBondi pops up, judges swat her down, and the country limps along. #uspolitics #authoritarianism

Why some federal workers aren't scared by the threat of shutdown layoffs Some federal workers support the government shutdown, even as President Trump threatens to use this moment to lay off employees and cut funding to programs.

Why shutdown layoff threats donโ€™t scare this federal employee
