Shut it down You cannot negotiate with the GOP who are doing it in bad faith. The republicans are going to RIF the federal workforce as they wish like they’ve demonstrated the last 6 months regardless of the concessions you give them now. Funding this government is enabling fascism. Please fight for us. It’s better to try and lose rather than just roll over like this spring. Politico has it right: “Federal workers will willingly forego paychecks in the hopes of preserving the programs we have devoted our lives to administering,” the unions said.” https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/09/29/congress/unions-and-shutdown-00583979 (https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/09/29/congress/unions-and-shutdown-00583979) Please save the government by fighting and not passing this heinous budget. HOLD THE GODDAMN LINE.
