And they received an email that said, from the administration, if you tender your resignation by next Friday, we will guarantee you payment through the end of September, whether or not you show up for work. So tender your resignation. And then, boy, it's just going to be a gravy train. You're just going to get paid for seven months without working.

The president has no authority to make that offer. There's no budget line item to pay people who are not showing up regularly. for work. This is a guy who made this promise to contractors again and again and again when he was a private business guy. Oh, come work for me on my casino. Come work for me in a hotel. We're going to do a handshake. We're going to do a contract.

The contractor does the work and then finds out they get stiffed. So my message to federal employees who receive this is, yeah, the president has tried to terrorize you for about a week. and then gives you a little sweetheart offer If you resign in the next week, we're just gonna pay you for doing nothing for the next seven months. Don't be fooled.

Really want to focus on this last thing. What the president is doing is not only illegal, it's not only chaotic and damaging to Virginians, it's betraying a deep insecurity. And let me explain why.

If he wants to cut the budget, he's got majorities in both houses. He could just work with them to do it the lawful way. reach a budget that matches the Trump priorities over the course of the next six weeks.

The fact that he's not doing that, that he's using this illegal unilateral executive strategy means he doesn't have confidence that the Republican leadership in both houses will go along with the extremity of the actions that he's taking. That should tell us something.
