Hey Kimla, I will post my reply here, too:

I see holding 1-mo to 3-mo USTs risky in that you may not have access to that capital when the bond is set to mature. If the US trips the debt ceiling and cannot pay out, it may delay that return of capital and prevent you from otherwise taking advantage of any resulting market sell-off.

I do believe they are ultimate made whole, however. Just may cause some opportunity cost for those investors.
