Washington (AP) -The White House asks the agencies to prepare great released of federal workers when the government closes next week.
In a memo released on Wednesday evening, the Office for Management and Household said that the agencies should consider reducing violence for federal programs, the financing of which would be canceled next week, is not otherwise financed and “does not match the president’s priorities”. That would be a much more aggressive step than with earlier shutdowns, as federal employees who were not classified as vital were free of charge, but had returned to their work after the congress as soon as the congress approved state expenditure.
A violation of violence would not only dismiss the employees, but would also remove their positions, which would trigger a further massive upheaval in a federal assistant, which was already exposed to great cuts this year due to the efforts of the Ministry for Government Efficiency and elsewhere in the Trump administration.
As soon as a potential closure of the government has ended, the agencies are asked to revise their reduction in strength plans, “as required to maintain the minimal number of employees who are necessary for execution of legal functions,” said Politico for the first time.
This change from OMB significantly increases the consequences of a potential closure of the government in the next week and escalates the pressure on the chairman of the Senate Minister, Chuck Schumer, and the House of House, Hakeem Jeffries. The two guides have combined almost all democratic legislators against a immaculate financing law of President Donald Trump and Congress Republicans who would keep the Federal Government into operation for seven weeks, and require immediate improvements to health care in exchange for their votes.
In statements that were published shortly after the memo was published, the two Democrats showed no signs of a conviction.
“We will not be intimidated by their threat to operate mass shots,” Jeffries wrote in a contribution to X. ”
Jeffries called Russ Vough, head of the OMB, a “malignant political hack”.
In a statement, Schumer said that the omb memo was an “attempted intimidation” and predicted that “the unnecessary shots are either lifted in court, or the administration will ultimately reset the employees”.
OMB found that the first planning call was held at the beginning of this week with other federal authorities to plan production. The household office will indicate the administration of the closure of the federal government, in particular the planning for you in advance. In earlier budget offices, the switching closure plans for the shutdown of emergency plans were also published – which would describe which agency workers would remain in the workplace during a state closure and what ancestral apprenticeship would be exposed – but not on his website.
In the memo it was found that the Democrats of the Congress refused to support a financing law on a immaculate government, “due to their partisan requirements”, to which an expansion of improved health insurance grants, which should expire after the end of the year, plus a reversal of the Medicaid cuts that were included in the immense tax of republicans and the expenditure of the legal frequency.
“Therefore, it has never been more important that the administration is prepared for switching off if the democrats decide to pursue one,” says the memo, in which the signature law of the GOP, an crucial tax and border expenditure package, “ensures sufficient resources that many priorities of Trump management are continued continuously.”
OMB noted that she had asked all agencies to submit its plans in the event of a government to be closed until August 1st.
“OMB has received many, but not all of their submissions,” added. “Please send us your updated Laps plans as soon as possible.”
