Missed Paychecks Loom as Govt Shutdown Drags On

As the partial government shutdown enters its third week, federal employees will soon begin missing paychecks.

President Donald Trump had previously directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to ensure troops get paid during the shutdown.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has maintained that he will not call the chamber back into session to vote on a bill to ensure military personnel receive paychecks, noting the House had already passed a bill to fund the government.
