‘The Stress Is Just Always There,’ as Thousands of FAA Workers Go without Paycheck
Democrats oppose bill granting President discretion to pay federal workers amid shutdown; over 42 million SNAP recipients face benefit cuts starting Nov 1, officials said.
- Thursday's Senate vote saw Democrats block a bill to pay federal employees, with the measure falling 54 to 45 short of the 60 votes needed.
- Democrats withheld funding votes to demand talks over expiring Obamacare subsidies and opposed the bill because it gave President Donald Trump discretion to selectively pay workers.
- Three Senate Democrats—John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Jon Ossoff, and Raphael Warnock of Georgia—crossed party lines to support the bill, while Senate Republicans blocked two unanimous-consent alternatives covering furloughed workers.
- Friday was the first day federal employees did not receive paychecks, including Postal Service, Social Security Administration staff, law enforcement officers and air-traffic controllers working without compensation.
- SNAP benefits will run out in at least half the country starting Nov. 1, with 25 states issuing notices, while open enrollment begins for 24 million Americans on Obamacare's private-sector marketplace.
