When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

We’re on the side of the American people. While their reckless agenda is driving our economy into a ditch, Republicans would rather point fingers than actually do the work necessary to prevent a shutdown.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides. STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Democrats in Congress CAN do other things, like deny a quorum. Place holds on nominees. Refuse to fund Trump's government. Filibuster every bill. Hold shadow committee investigations and publicly release findings. Leak ethics committee notes and findings.

As we focus on what the DOGE is doing, Republicans in Congress draft dangerous resolutions with smoke and mirror titles deceptive of their true intent. Biggs (AZ) and Higgins (LA) want to recognize the importance of women's healthcare. They mention Pro Women's Healthcare Centers 7 times.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

New - Another "Fork in the Road" email has gone out to federal employees with FAQs about the deferred resignation program. This is the third they've received.

Q: The current funding bill for the federal government expires on March 14. Will I still receive full pay and benefits if the money runs out?
A: Any government shutdown could potentially affect an employee's pay regardless of whether he or she has accepted the deferred resignation offer. Moreover, if you accept the deferred resignation offer, you would still be entitled to backpay under the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019. See 31 U.S.C. 1341(c)(2).

Q: Does my agency have VERA for employees who opt to take the deferred resignation offer?
A: Yes. Employees who are eligible for the deferred resignation offer and are at least age 50 with at least 20 years creditable Federal service, or any age with at least 25 years creditable Federal service are eligible for VERA along with the deferred resignation offer (unless your position is exempted from the deferred resignation program by your agency).

Q: I am scheduled to retire soon after September 30, 2025. Can I take advantage of the deferred resignation program?
A: If your retirement date is between October 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, you are still eligible for deferred resignation (unless your position is exempted from the deferred resignation program by your agency). If your retirement date is within this window, your deferred resignation date will be extended to match your retirement date.

Q: How can I make it clear that I would like to resign AND retire (not just resign)?
A: You are welcome to type "resign and retire" into the reply email but it is not required. If you simply write "resign" and you are eligible for retirement on or before December 31, 2025, we will process your resignation with retirement as of September 30 OR your actual retirement date (if it is between September 30 and December
131, 2025).

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away. It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.

To all personnel:
At the direction of Agency leadership, the USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, D.C. will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, February 3, 2025. Agency personnel normally assigned to work at USAID headquarters will work remotely tomorrow, with the exception of personnel with essential on-site and building maintenance functions individually contacted by senior leadership. Further guidance will be forthcoming.
