Trump and Budget Chief Vought Are Making This a Government Shutdown Unlike Any Other
Up to 750,000 federal workers are furloughed as the Office of Management and Budget prioritizes military and deportation funding during the ongoing shutdown.
- On Tuesday, the Office of Management and Budget said it will carry out more reductions in force as the shutdown enters its third week.
- Congress failed to meet the Oct. 1 deadline, leaving funding unresolved as House Speaker Mike Johnson said he will not negotiate until Democrats reopen the government.
- Up to 750,000 federal workers are being furloughed amid the shutdown, more than 4,000 workers received layoff notices over the weekend, and the Pentagon tapped $8 billion in unused research funds.
- Trump's priorities such as military pay and deportations are being preserved, while critics called the selective firings illegal and pledged court challenges.
- The 'Big, Beautiful Bill' provides a separate allotment of funding the Congressional Budget Office says is available during the shutdown, and OMB urged agency heads to consider reductions in force.
