A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump Administration from firing any more federal workers during the government shutdown.  Democrat lawmakers recently gathered at the OMB speaking out against the reduction in force and saying the shutdown needs to end.  Maryland Congresswoman April McClain Delaney said health care is impacted by the shutdown.

“Whether it be the CDC and hundreds of children breaking out with the measles, or emergency services with FEMA and NOAA and other things, or with cancer research—we know that these things are important to the American people, and that the retribution and the cruelty that’s being done by OMB and others cannot win.”
