White House orders agencies to prep for mass firings during a government shutdown — as Dems vow ‘we will not be intimidated’

The Trump administration is taking serious steps to prepare for potential mass firings as the government faces a looming shutdown on October 1. A memo from the Office of Management and Budget has instructed federal agencies to identify employees for termination, particularly those in non-essential programs. This move has sparked strong reactions from Democrats, who assert that they will not be intimidated by such threats. The implications of these actions could be significant, affecting thousands of workers and the functioning of government services, making it a critical issue for many Americans.
