A park employee, who spoke with SFGATE on the condition of anonymity to protect their job, said they know of only one wilderness ranger working the entire park. And technically, that person is not even a ranger, the employee said, but a volunteer.

Federal employees are guaranteed back pay at the end of any shutdown by law without question or exception. “This is clearly and unambiguously stated in the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, which Congress passed nearly unanimously in 2019. Speaker Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Thune voted for that bill, and President Trump signed it into law. --Don Beyer original cosponsor.

Sponsors of the original law are speaking out-- what omb and trump are proposing is illegal. We will all be back paid period. To read the whole statement from Beyer: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Hey #ForestService Fam 💚 — Before you read this— please know USDA is not mentioned here.

Further: our illustrious top boss in the White House blundered into mentioning this is politically motivated (and I’m sure any lawyer will be happy to argue, unlawful).

They’re just trying to scare people.

Valuable reporting, I want to mention; I’m struggling to believe we have 32,000 workers now.

I think that figure included workers on payroll thru 9/30 who resigned (DRP).

~10,000 are pro firefighters (assuming few left).

What’s left is like asking a small town to run a nation’s lands 😳

SPANBERGER: “She doesn’t think gay couples should be allowed to marry.”

WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: “That’s not discrimination.” 🤔

SPANBERGER: “She thinks you can fire someone for being gay.”

EARLE-SEARS: “That’s not discrimination.” 🤔🤔 #VAGov

Why? How? Who? When are the criminals going to be removed from the White House? Why does it feel like they are offing hostages to get their way?

Flood the Zone with Truth and Facts...

Can we cut the Republican jobs in Congress since they aren’t working for the people?

What was that for? To buy her loyalty because she was a loser in the Miss Arizona pageant owned by Trump. He likes insecure losers like himself & certainly knows how to con them recognizing their need to believe in their (in) competency in their- (weak) performance.

Fuck me …. Why is he thanking Putin on social media ffs

2017 TRUMP: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

2025 TRUMP: “Thank you, Qatar, for my free $400,000,000 personal jet!”

TRUMP, a few months later: “I'm letting Qatar be the first foreign nation to build a military base on US soil.”

Sure it's not Jagermeister shots? 😆 😐😐😐

This is a betrayal of American families.

Mike Johnson, stop this B.S. NOW.

Shutdown hostage taking Russ Vought's threatens more mass firings; SCOTUS blesses his de facto impoundment

Re-upping this piece on news that Vought is firing federal employees:
*Vought lying that shutdowns compel layoffs, never have before.
*Layoffs are a choice, the shutdown is an excuse.
*Comes on top of existing RIFs, will make restoring govt services harder post-shutdown.

A resident of Iowa City's Catholic Worker House and employee of the downtown Bread Garden Market was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed by the ICE Gestapo in Iowa City, IA.
