![Political flyer with a collage of four prominent people in front of a U.S. Air Force Base entrance sign. The headline at the top in large red font reads: "REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN BURDENS OFFUTT & MILITARY." The people are dressed in formal attire.
Below them, a quote says:
“So in those critical positions, many times our uniformed military members that are still working full time have to not only do their missions, but also have to fill in some of those critical civilian gaps that have been created due to the furlough,” he [Pierce] said.
Pierce said Offutt’s military personnel are committed to completing the base’s mission just as they did before the government shutdown, but the job gets harder the longer they go without the support from the civilian workforce.
A highlighted section at the bottom in red text reads:
The U.S. Department of Defense furloughed 334,904 employees, or about half its civilian workforce.
At the bottom, the Douglas County Democratic Party logo appears with a citation from the Omaha World Herald and the date “10.2.25”. The background includes a partly cloudy sky and several flags.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4acazhkbabvaqbnrfgvhm3ac/bafkreiadhu2j6vqfchhlfowx377ldvzywuowli73fqxh7zyw62ievwfobm@jpeg)
