Trump’s government shutdown is just a continuation of his ongoing hatchet job. Firing thousands of dedicated workers since January and now suddenly over 4,000 more. This has never happened in a shutdown. He has been granted no additional powers. It’s just more of the same
Breaking news: The Trump administration began laying off federal workers while the government is shuttered, fulfilling threats from President Trump to take advantage of the closure to shave off more parts of the federal workforce he dislikes.

@RepLloydDoggett Shutdowns happen when Democrats prioritize illegal immigrant benefits over American citizens. The layoffs target bloated bureaucracies that serve political agendas, not taxpayers. Cutting waste isn’t cruelty—it’s fiscal responsibility. Every dollar saved from redundant programs

@RepLloydDoggett Lloyd, you could do the country a service by encouraging your Democratic colleagues to stop blocking the government funding.

@RepLloydDoggett So Democrats shut down the government, and now you blame Trump for firing workers? Can’t have it both ways sparky.
