We need the facts before the finger-pointing starts; this bill just makes sense.

More reports? Congress just wants a new excuse to blame someone else for their mess.

Transparency’s great, but let’s not forget: furloughs happen because spending got out of control.

This bill sounds like busywork—real reform would stop shutdowns, not just report on them.
left-leaning 11/04/2025
If Congress wants to play shutdown roulette, they should at least own the fallout in black and white.

At least now we’ll know who’s home and who’s working when the government hits pause.

Finally, some accountability—no more hiding furloughs behind smoke and mirrors.
left-leaning 11/04/2025
Because transparency is the best way to protect workers, not just cover up political games.

A bit of paperwork goes a long way when budgets go bust—simple and sensible.
