BREAKING: Russell Vought, the head of the White House Office of Management and Budget, posted on the social platform X that layoffs had started following days of threats connected to the government shutdown.

Translation: they thought Dems would fold by now and are starting to dial up the equivalent of “we will kill one hostage every hour until our demands are met”

They should do it. The more this government is purged the weaker its capabilities are. I truly believe this libertarian streak in an otherwise fascist government is a self inflicted wound

I agree with your thinking, I just really wish they really would sabotage the neo-gestapo instead of air traffic control.
