Washington Rep on Shutdown: ‘Everything Is on’ Republicans

The shutdown persists amid unresolved disputes over spending and health care subsidies, with roughly 46,000 military members unpaid and the Senate preparing for another decisive vote.

  • Monday marks Day 20 of the federal government shutdown as congressional Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked, leaving federal workers and military members worried about paychecks.
  • Senate Democrats insist any funding bill include extensions of expiring health tax credits, and the Senate failed a tenth vote on Thursday with another scheduled Monday.
  • President Trump directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to shift about $6.5 billion so active troops received paychecks on Oct. 15, while the Army Corps of Engineers paused over $11 billion in projects.
  • Some VA services have been interrupted as VA regional benefits offices are closed and cemetery grounds are unmaintained, while all 63 national parks remain open since Oct. 1 with limited services.
  • Open enrollment begins Nov. 1, with nonpartisan KFF finding premiums could more than double from $888 to $1,904 if subsidies are not extended, Democrats say.
