- ⚠️ A new draft memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) suggests that not all furloughed federal workers may receive back pay after the government shutdown ends.
- 📜 This contradicts a 2019 law, signed by President Trump, which stipulated that furloughed federal workers are entitled to back pay.
Political Reactions to the Memo
- 🗣️ President Trump stated that while "for the most part, we're going to take care of our people," there are "some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of."
- 🏛️ Speaker of the House Mike Johnson believes the memo should increase urgency to end the shutdown and personally supports federal workers receiving back pay.
- ⚖️ House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries asserted that the law is clear and federal workers will get their back pay, vowing to ensure this happens.
