Thanks for all the info! Isn’t Mulvaney somehow connected to the Office of Management and Budget; he’s the one to figure out RIFing, right?

Mulvaney vows Trump will build border wall ‘with or without Congress

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney strongly suggested on “Fox News Sunday” that President Trump will construct a border wall using his emergency powers if Congress cannot agree on a compromise to fund the construction in the next three weeks.

Trump on Friday signed a short-term spending bill to re-open the government through Feb. 15, ending the longest partial federal government shutdown in U.S. history. But the president insisted the move was not a “concession,” writing in a tweet that “in 21 days, if no deal is done, it’s off to the races!” — a message Mulvaney emphasized.

“We don’t go into this trying to shut the government down. ... It’s still better to get it through legislation,” Mulvaney, who officially still holds his title as Director of the Office of Management and Budget, said. “That’s the right way to do it. At the end of the day, the president is going to secure the border, one way or another.”
