Just a quick little update here, via email from the White House:
Statement from Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Director of the Office of Management and Budget
"Now that the bill has passed the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, the President plans to sign it tonight and employees should expect to return to work in the morning. Employees should be checking the news and OPM's website for further updates."
Once in a while, we win. Not only does it feel good, it's good for the country. Let's make it happen more often.
Please add your name to our petition thanking President Obama for his stalwart leadership in averting a national crisis and defeating the tea party.
