Walkinshaw Calls Latest Vought Threat to Furloughed Workers “BS”
October 7, 2025 
  Today, Congressman James R. Walkinshaw released the following statement after an Axios report revealed that President Trump and OMB Director Russ Vought have drafted a faulty memo suggesting furloughed federal employees will not receive back pay.
“More bluster and BS from Russ Vought and Donald Trump. The law is clear. Trump signed it. They can’t just invent powers to punish federal workers. End the GOP vacation and stop the illegal threats.”
