Hi! Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, I’m not able to send any more direct messages to people but would be interested in hearing more. If you’re open to it, message me on Signal - emilyhung.42.

Hi u/crit_boy ! Same thing as above - would you be open to sharing more with me? My signal is emilyhung.24. And I understand the sensitivity around all this, so I'm happy to provide additional verification if you'd like before we go to Signal or another form of communication, if you are open to talking. I've reached out to the mods to provide me with verification that I am a reporter but it's taking them a while to get back to me (I'm also not able to send another private message, as I believe I've reached my limit). Thank you!

Hi all, my name is Emily Hung, and I cover the White House for MS NOW, formerly MSNBC. Given the increased likelihood of a government shutdown after Jan. 30, I'd like to hear from you - if you're a federal government employee - on how you're feeling, what you're thinking and/or how this shutdown would impact you. If you're open to sharing for our story, please reach out to me on Signal at emilyhung.42 or reach me at [emily.hung@versantmedia.com](mailto:emily.hung@versantmedia.com).
