Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.
There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.
You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.

Right. Same thing as 2020 [see below].Through 2 debates and a session on Economics in Chicago during the 2024 campaign I never heard a reporter bring up the cost of the 2020 tariffs & the bailout to farmers WE paid for to cover Trump’s tariff folly. I’m sick of it.
