Herr #Drumpf hopes that #Democrats will quckly cave over #OMB threats to terminate #federalworkers if they don't vote to support #GOP budget...

While I know not how threats are playing out across Congressionalandia, at least the #Maryland delegation seems not to be buying into it, with Sen. Chris Van Hollen calling the mass potential layoffs “likely illegal”

Dem MD #Congressman #JamieRaskin Issued Statement on #DJT Administration's #Threat to CONTIINUE His Mass Firings of Federal Workers :

“After illegally sacking tens of thousands of federal workers, Drumpf’s now trying to use the livelihoods of the ones who remain as coercive leverage while refusing to come to the table and hold serious #government funding negotiations with Democratic leadership. "

#DJT has spent his time in office dismantling the federal civil service and destroying the critical programs that #Americans rely on. His lawyers should tell him that a #shutdown gives the administration no additional legal authority to justify the #lawless dismissal of federal #workers. "

“Democrats won’t be intimidated into supporting #MAGA’s #government funding proposal which does nothing to protect the #HealthCare millions of Americans need."

#Senate #MinorityLeader Chuck Schumer of #NY also commented “#DJT has been firing federal workers since day one—not to govern, but to scare … This is nothing new and has nothing to do with #funding the government. These unnecessary firings will either be overturned in court or the administration will end up hiring the workers back, just like they did as recently as today.”

Fabio Rolfi: «Bene il "plissone" ma sul parco regionale la Loggia non perda tempo»

Il leader della minoranza in Loggia concorda con gli ambientalisti del comitato promotore nel sostenere che è l'unico strumento per bloccare nuovo cemento, ma ricorda che non si vieterebbe la caccia

Translated:
Fabio Rolfi: "Good on the 'pleated' [referring to a type of fabric] but the Loggia shouldn't waste time on the regional park."

The minority leader in Parliament agrees with the environmentalists of the promoting committee in supporting it as the only tool to stop new concrete construction, but reminds that hunting would not be banned.

«Former President #DonaldTrump's allies are waging a behind-the-scenes battle to push #Senate #MinorityLeader #MitchMcConnell (R-KY), the only major #Republican leader who has not yet endorsed #Trump's bid for re-election, to do so, reported The #NewYorkTimes on Monday — in the face of years of bad blood between the two of them that has rifted any sort of professional relationship.»
