The nation’s third shutdown in 12 years is once again raising anxiety levels among service members and their families because those in uniform are working without pay. While they would receive back pay once the impasse ends, many military families live paycheck to paycheck.
During previous shutdowns, Congress passed legislation to ensure that troops kept earning their salaries, but time is running out before they miss their first paycheck in less than a week.
The Republican shutdown. It’s not just some amorphous “government” that shut it down. It’s Republicans.
What, just because they’re literally in control of all 3 branches of the US government and aren’t willing to keep things as they are during Trump’s Tariff Tantrums and horrible economy (people’s healthcare premiums about to skyrocket due to expiring Biden provisions)!?
Unless you’re at an airport, where you’re forced to watch a video at TSA checkpoints that shows Christy Noem blaming the shutdown on Democrats.
They just told all the Air Traffic Controllers that they’re basically slaves and should work for free…I wouldn’t get on a domestic flight anytime soon.
