.White House Press Office, three days ago: “This conversation about layoffs would not be happening right now if the Democrats did not vote to shut the government down.”

@PressSec Fire as many federal workers as possible. The smaller the government, the better.

@PressSec That’s a fact

@PressSec

@PressSec Supporters may see this as legitimate criticism, while opponents may question whether the speech is biased or politicized

@PressSec This is a Republican shutdown.

@PressSec Fuck off, you lying pedo protector.

The admin’s shutdown blame game is like arsonists billing firefighters for water damage. 🔥💸 Trump declared permanent cuts to "Democrat programs" on Oct 9 while 900k workers go unpaid - a manufactured crisis. His Oct 2 Truth Social post ordered Republicans to "clear out dead wood," just before halting $28B for blue-state transit/energy. Meanwhile, military families queue at food banks and Medicare patients lose telehealth access. Standard shutdowns furlough workers; this admin weaponizes paychecks. Hostage-taking disguised as governance.

@PressSec GOP voted to shut it down when the refused healthcare for Americans. GOP could open it up again with the nuclear option, but then Johnson would need to swear in Adelita Grijalva. He doesn’t want to do that, does he?

@PressSec we hate TRUMP the man who gets things done!

@PressSec Okay - but Trump unilaterally decided to enact said layoffs is only going to reflect poorly on the WH - given they've explicitly decided to pursue them without precedent...

@PressSec Stop the Qatar air Force Base in Idaho!!!!!!

@PressSec Talk of layoffs and reduced government efficiency could have real impacts on federal services

@PressSec DOGE the shit outta DC !! They ain’t there anyway. 😡

@PressSec If debt or shutdown was a concern, then why this?

@david_arcano @PressSec

@PressSec Propoganda Barbie back at it again.

@PressSec Lie Most ppl have read Project 2025. It lines it out. After this, the next step is reduction in pay and benefits. It’s all in black and white.

@PressSec I could not be more happy that it is happening😆😆

@PressSec y'all understand that your message, "it's the democrats fault" is going to collapse when republicans start firing people who were furloughed... right? Right?

@PressSec GOPedo shutdown to delay releasing the Epstein files you dumb twat.

@PressSec

@PressSec Tell it 🇺🇲👍

@PressSec STFU you lying hag.

@PressSec I am pretty sure Trump was gonna do layoffs eventually with or without a shutdown.

@PressSec Why are we allowing Qatar Air Force to train in our country? Please tell me they will never fly armed jets over our soil!

@PressSec It should have happened months ago. Drastically cut the federal behbehemoth to improve liberty and reduce costs.

@PressSec Trump: "A government shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak."

@PressSec Exactly right. Democrats caused this shutdown now they’re pretending to care about workers losing their jobs. Unreal hypocrisy. 😤

@PressSec Terrible situation I Love Karoline 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@PressSec 👏👍

@PressSec So claims a useless administration that has… The presidency… The senate… … and the house!

@PressSec Not according to Marge.

@PressSec Democrats have voted to keep the government shutdown SEVEN TIMES now. They can end it at anytime. All they have to do is choose the American people over illegal immigrants.

@PressSec It's hard to think about Oaths and corruption by our Government. Yet where is the immediate fix? We watch 4 years of Democrats flooding our Country with illegals. They stole our money funding illegals and putting them on our programs. No arrests.
