You can’t just pretend the law doesn’t exist, you fuckwits.

I don’t think that’s how it works

fuck every single person complicit in this tragedy. Our country had been stolen from us, and rather than defend our homes, our representatives are helping the thieves load the fucking truck.

I imagine there’re laws against defacing gubmint websites … right?

So if there’s no back pay: tsa and air traffic control should immediately stop working

It’s like they want a *real* shutdown.
Holy *fuck*, I hope they get one.

So they got caught. Now they will roll it back and claim it was a “mistake”

Yea, I wouldn’t mess with people’s pay.

Another step in the direction of unitary executive theory. Now, Trump gets to decide who gets back pay and who doesn’t. Border Patrol? You get a check. US Forest Service? You get nothing.

Wanna lose Virginia governor by 15+ points? Because this is how you lose VA governor by 15+ points.

It’s gonna get real ugly when states withholding taxes. The republicans are pulling every trick they can think of to clear out the coffers and when that tax money stops the grift is over.

Prior to 2019 there was no law which guaranteed federal payment and Congress would authorize payments after each shut down. Later in 2019 a law was enacted guaranteeing those payments in the future. That law remains intact and an Executive Order cannot overturn it.

I was actually agreeing with this until I read that it’s actually a law that they receive back pay.
For the people that voted for Trump and are furloughed elections have consequences

Russ Vought: Hehe I found a way to not back pay federal workers, ill just delete it from the website.
It dont work that way Russ. You’re an idiot.

I can’t believe Vought and I are the same age. He looks a decade+ older.

Somehow, Democrats will be blamed for not stopping the other party with all the power from doing iron fisted fascist stuff.

Deleting the reference does not change the law, btw.

You know what this is? It’s a bunch of third-graders trying to play their 28th prank on the teacher and thinking they’ll get away with it *this time.*
Folks at the Smithsonian are gonna come in one day to find an old, faded, dusty, virtually illegible parchment covered in Sharpie, while the whole administration whistles and shuffles their feet.

It’s kind of cool how there’s no bottom to the evil. You’d think they’d hit some kind of floor at some point but nope

Someone should post these to the feral employee sub. This is not the first thing about the current administration trying not to pay federal workers after the shutdown is over. It needs to be compiled and shown there.

At this point they want to do everything to ensure the ‘26 election goes their way so it truly is too late.
The only reason you do this is to tell all these federal workers “the Dems made you lose a months+ pay, not us”.

Deleting reference to it doesn’t make any not change the law

Luckily, just because it’s deleted doesn’t mean it’s no longer a law.

I have an immediate family member who works for the fed govt and is a big maga supporter. Can’t wait to hear how this is the democrats fault.

Pretending laws don’t exist doesn’t make them not exist. Eventually it will catch up.

This country needs a general strike. Mass civil action is truly needed.
