Who else is on this call?
Yup I’m here. What’s going on with Jim?
Can anyone share the link?
No. Need to be on Senate VPN to get on this.
Is this a bipartisan call?
No - Republican only.
LOL. OMB claiming that they’re trying to open the government when they’re the ones shutting it down
What do you mean by that? It’s the Dems who won’t give us the votes we need.
Already punting to leg affairs. What a worthless call
Can’t believe we’re not paying our service members. Insane.
Sounds like flood insurance, drone threats, SBA loans, FDA approvals and civil/crim actions, and EPA inspections are all getting really impacted.
RIFs are coming in another 24 hours!
“Agency developed plans”… so whatever Vought dreamt up

Wow. These people literally don’t listen do they? He just answered the question like 2 minutes ago.
Agencies are reviewing PPAs that are inconsistent with priorities and guidance is it’d be a full RIF during the shutdown, and only maintain the staffing in the PPAs to maintain whatever statutory requirements there are.
RIFs will only go into effect after 60 days, so basically a complete wash.
What was even the point of this call? he’s just saying he can’t tell us anything
VA claiming they can’t talk to Congress, but OMB is claiming that they have nothing to do with it.
Senate folks are saying no deal is in sight as of October 6 10AM.
