Tonight, day 10 of the government shutdown and more than 4,000 federal workers laid off today alone with no end in sight.

President Trump puts politics over job performance and now military paychecks hanging the balance.

Plus, wait, what indictment? The new reporting that says that Pam Bondi did not

know Trump's hand-picked prosecutor was going to charge his Hitchie James. And the Pentagon's new

military move in Idaho that's got MAGA in a tizzy. Tonight on Laura Codes Live.

All right. Raise your hand if you've ever held your breath while they slide your credit card. Now keep it up if you've ever worked hard and the money still was not enough to make those ends meet.

Still up if you know what it feels like to live paycheck to paycheck, or if the landlord,

the bill collector, the daycare provider, the student loan debtor, they want more than an IOU

because you'll have the money eventually. Well, then you can imagine

what it's like for federal workers for the last 10 days and the next however many. Now, you know,

I worked in the federal government. I went through one of these shutdowns, still having to work

with a baby on my knee and another on the way.

And now you feel you're nervous.

You are scared and frankly you're pissed.

And tonight, what's happening to thousands of federal workers is even worse than missing paychecks

and possibly getting your money back at the

from President Trump's budget chief. The IRAs have begun. RIF, reduction in force.

Fancy for you out of a job.

And if you're one of those federal workers getting cut by the OMB Reaper,

remember that tweet, that post Russell vote,

then you may be feeling that this is happening
