It has been 34 days since President Twitter Fingers shut down the government. Trump's shutdown has fucked over approximately 800,000 federal employees, from NASA scientists to TSA agents, many of whom have continued to work without pay.

At least that's the idea behind Pay It Furloughed, a new campaign from a couple of D.C. entrepreneurs and Pabst Blue Ribbon. It started in D.C. last week with the support of a few local breweries, and today, January 24, bars nationwide are teaming up to give our nation's federal employees a much needed break at the tap.
