It's a dark day, probably one of many, to be a civil servant. But eggs were too expensive and we need more billionaires apparently.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This whole week has been fucking bonkers, I'll tell you what. It's Project 2025 in full fucking swing; the entire country is off Medicaid (or maybe not); all grant money is frozen (or maybe not); half the populace is to be deported (or maybe not)c and now this. Or maybe not. It'll obviously be challenged in the courts.
The true essence of a dictatorship is in fact not its regularity but its unpredictability and caprice; those who live under it must never be able to relax, must never be quite sure if they have followed the rules correctly or not.

It's a trap. Elon did this and never paid, there is no money for this.
Do it. Trump can go eat his own ass.
This is because they don't have the power to fire anyone.
The government unions won't allow it.
Also people will not be paid for this, they can't come up with the money and even if they do Trump doesn't pay his debts
Don't quit, don't comply
They should all resign, then occupy the federal offices and demand to be re-hired at better wages and working conditions.
Lmaoo at the thought that they are planning on hiring anyone in their place. They don't want to restaff, they want to destaff. It's what musk did at twitter. Just fire everyone and if things are buggy then who cares.
