Only one Rep, Brad Sherman, declined to commit on the spot. He said he'd have to see the bill. The crowd didn't like that. They chanted back "WITHHOLD YOUR VOTE." If Sherman comes over to our side, we should welcome him. But until he does, I hope he gets the same question from his constituents.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
