NEW POLLS SHOW BIDEN LEAVING OFFICE WITH APPROVAL RATINGS STILL BURIED DEEP IN NEGATIVE TERRITORY
The report, titled "The lights are on, but everyone is at home: Why the new administration will enter largely vacant federal agency offices," is 41 pages and was prepared by Republicans on the committee. In its report, the committee makes the case that telework policies have been "detrimental" to government agencies.
In the hearing, Comer pointed the finger at Democrats, in particular, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-Ny. He slammed Schumer for allegedly letting the Show Up Act "collect dust." The legislation would bring federal employees’ telework back to "pre-pandemic levels."

The committee’s report acknowledges that Trump "invoked massive telework and remote work" at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and adds that he "quickly sought to return federal employees to their offices to deliver for the American people when it became clear that widespread, indiscriminate lockdowns were not the right societal answer to the pandemic."
