Government Shutdown Spurs Solidarity Among Federal Workers | JQJO

As the government shutdown continues into its second week, federal workers are feeling the strain, with many not working or getting paid. However, some, like NASA employee Monica Gorman, see it as an opportunity for Congress to push back against budget cuts. The shutdown has also led to increased solidarity among federal workers, who are using it as a chance to voice their concerns about the Trump administration's policies. Despite fears of retaliation, many are choosing to speak out, criticizing the loss of institutional knowledge, funding cuts, and lack of accountability.
