Furloughed federal workers aren’t guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.
Why it matters: If the White House acts on that legal analysis, it would dramatically escalate President Trump’s pressure on Senate Democrats to end the week-old shutdown by denying back pay to as many as 750,000 federal workers after the shutdown.

Democrats are making me fire and threaten everybody!!! Also, fewer people showing up for work, and chaos, as a result of this direct threat is someone else’s fault too.
Fun story! That white house memo is wrong. You actually do pay your workers.
