Senate defeats government funding measure as shutdown hits Day 9
Lawmakers remain deadlocked with a military pay deadline on Oct. 13 risking delayed paychecks for 1.3 million active-duty service members, officials said.
- On Thursday, for the seventh time, Senate Democrats prevented the Republicans' proposal to reopen the federal government, with the shutdown reaching its ninth consecutive day.
- Lawmakers have remained at odds since failing to approve funding by the October 1 deadline, with both parties blaming each other for the ongoing standoff.
- Military families face growing anxiety as the October 13 deadline to process payroll approaches, with active-duty troops and their families at risk of missing paychecks.
- If the Senate does not pass legislation to end the shutdown by October 13, 1.3 million service members will not get paid as scheduled on October 15.
- The protracted shutdown continues to raise concerns about military readiness, financial hardship for families, and the lack of an immediate solution.
