Furloughed federal workers aren’t guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.
Why it matters: If the White House acts on that legal analysis, it would dramatically escalate President Trump’s pressure on Senate Democrats to end the week-old shutdown by denying back pay to as many as 750,000 federal workers after the shutdown.
It’s not even that they genuinely hate these people. The media has told them who to hate and they blindly believe it.
For a party that constantly called the Democrats sheep in the mid 2010s they sure are wearing a lot of fleece.
