As the government shutdown stretches towards a fifth week, FBI field offices across the country are opening food banks to help support special agents and staff struggling without pay. In Dallas, Newark, New Jersey, and Washington, the FBI has set up or planned for areas where employees can drop off non-perishable food items for other employees to pick up, according to multiple law enforcement officials. In the West Coast, at least two FBI field offices are considering establishing food banks as one of a number of ideas to help employees hurting from the shutdown, a law enforcement official said. "We're all in this together and we're banding together to help each other out in any way we can," said Melinda Urbina, a spokeswoman for the FBI field office in Dallas, where a volunteer employee group set up the food bank now filled with pastas and canned goods in one of the main break rooms. Some 35,000 FBI employees, including administrative and support staff, missed a paycheck last week as negotiations between President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats over government funding and border security have stalled. That has left many also searching for outside employment, despite limitations on the type of work employees can do and still keep a security clearance or not violate government employment rules.
The history books will not be kind to this lot, nor will voters in 2020.
Much ado about nothing?
Useless, of course...however...This post right here is how Trump has support harming government employees over his useless wall.
Damn shame what Trump and McConnell are putting this country through. All this pain strictly for Trumps vanity wall.
It takes two to tango. Pelosi et al are just as responsible as Trump and McConnell. I know you won't admit to that. But that is a FACT regardless.
No number of deflecting lies will erase the fact that Trump said he would shut down the government and own it, then shut down the government and owned it. I know you won't admit to that. But that is a FACT regardless.
