Where?
They haven't missed a paycheck (yet.)

Well they know they aren't getting paid. A lot of newly enlisted like to buy new cars so will be missing payments soon. Also just not a good idea to fail to pay your soldiers. I'm sure China is out there holding out stacks of cash already.

While still getting their own paychecks—crooks in congress and the house.

If theyre on the same schedule as everyone else, they received less than half of their normal pay. That’s a big deal considering how many military families live paycheck to paycheck.

Correct, so the only option is start scrimping on daily expenses to be able to cover the fixed expenses.

These lunatics?

Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed

So basically the USA now has absolutely zero defense, so Make Ebola Great Again?

Will ICE get paid? Better them getting stiffed and air Traffic controllers, I say this ends next week. But who knows with this regime.

Maybe new ICE will turn on their handlers. They are already disorganized and becoming disillusioned.

Military gets paid the 1st and 15th of every month. Different than most feds who get paid every two weeks.

Regardless, if you live paycheck to paycheck and you know your next one isn’t coming, the only rational thing to do is to start scrimping now. You don’t wait until you’re completely out of money. The MAGA trolls on here are so out of touch it’s incredible.

They will decrease the number of flights going out to manage. But I agree, it’s concerning.

They just got 50k signing bonuses so many of them will be okay for a while. This may have even been part of the plan.

It won’t. House Republican hands are tied. They will need to reconvene to put in a stand alone bill for military. Johnson won’t reconvene because of Epstein files.

Senate DEMOCRATS NEED TO HOLD OUT UNTIL GRIJALVA IS SEATED and progress made on health care subsidies. Most important is Grijalva because that precedent paves the way for overturning all elections in the future.

Smithsonians close tomorrow. Maybe MAGA tourists will call their representatives and senators to complain their hard earned vacation dollars are wasted.

They will just say it’s because of Democrats. Remember the MAGAs who spent thousands to come to the Inauguration? They bought the tale of Trump was feeding them, hook line and sinker.
