Washington – the White House sent tips to departments and agencies, telling them that if the closure begins, they are expected to introduce mass fire and dismissals.
. Two -page noteThe administrative official of Trump, made available with the states, says that all programs that received funds in the “Big, beautiful” act, “will still be uninterrupted”.
But the immense majority of departments and federal agencies need a congress to approve the annual financial account or the Act on stopping expenses before the start of the novel tax year to continue operations.
The note says that employees who run these programs may be reduced if legislators do not perform a contract before the date of October 1.
These reductions will apply to programs, projects or activities that “are not in line with the president’s priorities”, according to the note.
“RIF notifications will be additions to all fur notifications due to the passage of time,” says the note. “RIF notifications should be issued to all employees working on appropriate (programs, projects or activities), regardless of whether the employee is excluded or repealed during the expiry of the funds.”
When the legislators reached a contract and the government opens again, the note says that agencies should process their reduction of plans “maintaining the minimum number of employees necessary to perform statutory functions.”
The employee relationship calls a compromise
The leader of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., wrote in a statement that the note presents “an attempt to intimidate”.
“Donald Trump releases federal employees from the first day – not to govern, but scare. This is nothing new and has nothing to do with the financing of the government,” wrote Schumer. “These unnecessary exemptions will be either repealed in court, or the administration will eventually employ employees, as they did today.”
The American Federation of Government Employees Everett Kelley wrote in a statement that the note shows that the Director of the White House budget of Russ Vaught intends to “continue the next round of illegal mass mass layoffs in the event of closing, adding chaos.”
“The truth is simple: Republicans cannot finance the government without democratic voices. This means that the only path is a compromise,” Kelley wrote. “The president and leaders of the Congress must sit and negotiate in good faith to keep the light for the American people. Nothing less is acceptable.”
Maryland Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen wrote in a statement that “Trump is involved in blackmail in the style of the mafia, and his threats ultimately harm the American nation.”
“It threatens to double the unsuccessful actions of Elon Musk and his chain chains – following patriotic civilian officials who provide Americans with critical services – despite the incurring many of these employees after the Americans experienced the negative influence of these cuts,” wrote Van Hollen. “These devoted workers have nothing to do with ongoing political and political disputes that led us to the brink of closure.”
The GOP house leaves until October 1
House he voted mainly along the party line Approve the seven -week expenditure account last week before leaving the city. GOP leaders were to bring legislators to this chamber back to Capitol Hill on Monday, but they extended their break and would not return to the closing date.
This move was largely perceived as a way to play the Senate, especially democrats, with a tiny -term government financial project, which they largely oppose, because GOP legislators wrote it behind closed doors without bilateral negotiations.
Senate I tried to develop A republican alloy act, but it did not have the necessary 60 votes to transfer the rules towards the final passage.
Democrats have been maintaining for weeks that if republican leaders want their support in the field of tiny -term expenditure account, they should have been negotiating with party leaders on key issues, including the extension of improved tax reliefs for people who buy health insurance on the market of the Act on inexpensive care.
These tax breaks are set to expires At the end of the year, but the Americans who rely on the health insurance market will start buying their plans for next November 1.
Marshal Mike Johnson, R-la., Said that he considers negotiations on these tax breaks as a problem for December, and not this month, despite the open registration period ending on December 15.
The leader of the majority of Senate, John Thune, Rs.d., repeatedly said that he perceives this issue as separate from the financing of the government.
