WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has seized on the government shutdown as an opportunity to reshape the federal workforce and punish detractors. The administration is threatening mass firings of workers and suggesting “irreversible” cuts to programs and services important to Democrats. The aggressive approach coming from the Trump administration is on par with what certain lawmakers and budget observers feared if Congress failed to do its work and relinquished control to the White House. Thursday is day two of the shutdown, and Congress is at a standstill. Democrats are demanding any bill to reopen government save health care funds. Republicans say they’re willing to have talks about health care, but not now.
