Trump and Vought campaigned on firing federal workers.

Now, they're following through on that promise.

This has nothing to do with the shutdown and everything to do with Trump inflicting "maximum pain" on American workers and their families.

Several federal agencies begin receiving layoff notices

The Trump administration is issuing reduction-in-force notices to several federal agencies. It comes as Congress remains deadlocked over a funding plan to end a government shutdown. CBS News' Nikole Killion reports from Capitol Hill and Kris Van Cleave reports on air travel delays amid the shutdown.

Kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance doesn't mean people won't get sick.

It makes health care more expensive for everyone.

Trump wields our justice system as a weapon against anyone who holds him accountable.

He published his list of perceived enemies, and fired the prosecutors who said they did nothing wrong. In the face of blatant corruption and authoritarianism, we won't back down or be silent.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

We knew that Trump’s sloppy tariffs would hit Kentucky hardest.

He should come tell our farmers, coopers, distillery workers, and truck drivers why his ego-driven trade war is worth sabotaging their job security. bit.ly/4qalHOj

Bourbon, spirits industry suffers 'significant downturn' after record year for exports

The U.S. spirits industry, including American whiskey like bourbon, has seen steep export decline in light of President Donald Trump's tariff policy.

When Republicans are saying "this isn't about Epstein" — it definitely is.

Speaker Johnson needs to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

My constituent Ann relies on the ACA to keep herself and her family healthy — but she works two jobs to make ends meet.

She's terrified of what happens if Republicans let the ACA credits expire. She doesn't know if she'll be insured in 2026.

This is why we're in DC fighting.

Republicans have left Americans in limbo.

Air traffic controllers don't know when their next paycheck will be, and families don't know if they'll be able to afford health insurance next year.

They need to come back to DC, extend the ACA credits, and open up the government.

The only time Republicans are "concerned" about health care is when they're trying to take it away.

Actions speak louder than words — they don't care that your health insurance is going to get more expensive.

It’s illegal to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

Trump has no respect for the law, and he has no respect for American workers.

We will fight this. bit.ly/432ET6n

White House memo says furloughed workers might not get back pay

Trump is using the threat of federal workforce cuts to force them to back the GOP’s clean continuing resolution.

Last week, the Trump administration wrongfully took $9.7 million away from JCPS.

They want our public schools to fail, and our kids, teachers, and staff will suffer as a result. We're fighting this. bit.ly/4mMUEFT

Congressman McGarvey urges Education Department to restore $10 million in JCPS grants

The Department of Education said the grants were pulled from the district because of civil rights violations.

Speaker Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, who won her special election WEEKS ago. Why? Because her signature means we could force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

We're calling on him to stop dragging his feet and swear her in.

If Republicans don't act, thousands of families in Louisville won't be able to afford health insurance.

Price spikes set to leave thousands of Kentuckians without health insurance, advocates say • Kentucky Lantern

I'm hearing from Louisvillians who are already understaffed and overworked — now they're worried they won't have a paycheck to support their families.

Republicans caused this shutdown, and they need to come back to Washington and fix it.

The government will shut down in less than 12 hours if Congress doesn't act.

Republicans control the whole government, and they're nowhere to be found.
