       The #shutdown is the first since Jan 2019, & the 4th of #Trump’s 2 terms. Admin ofcls this time, though, have signaled plans to use the closed agencies as a way to vastly reshape the #FederalGovernment & consolidate #power under the presidency.#OMB dir #RussVought ordered agencies to consider #MassFirings rather than #furloughs.​ His instructions to agencies include guidance on rewriting #regulations surrounding federal #grants & challenging #Congress’s constitutional #power over spending.#law

       ~750k #FederalWorkers are expected to be furloughed, & some fired by the #Trump admin. Many offices will be shuttered, perhaps permanently, as Trump vows to “do things that are irreversible, that are bad” as #retribution. His #deportation agenda is expected to run full speed ahead, while #education, #environmental & other #services sputter. The economic fallout is expected to ripple nationwide.#Republicans #GOP #government #shutdown #OrchestratedShutdown #economy https://apnews.com/article/government-shutdown-congress-trump-health-care-54b2a584657a0b619bc8326708a05604?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2025-10-01-Government+shutdown

       …a #government #shutdown …will force active-duty service members to continue to serve WITHOUT PAY…. During a #GovernmentShutdown, all active-duty personnel, as well as #NationalGuard who are currently deployed, must carry out their assigned duties WITHOUT PAY until the shutdown is over….This includes the #military #Trump has deployed to #cities in the #US to purportedly fight *crime* / assist #ICE.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/government-shutdown-impact-u-s-military/

       Active-duty service members won't get paid on time unless #Congress passes a separate piece of #legislation, as it did in 2013 with the "Pay Our Military Act," which ensured #military pay & allowances continued during a government #shutdown. Rep Jen Kiggans (R-VA) introduced a bill in Sept with bipartisan support, the "Pay Our Troops Act of 2026," to keep members of the military & Coast Guard paid during a shutdown, but it did not pass in time because the #House is out of session until Oct 7.

       During the last #shutdown in 2019, the #NavyFederalCreditUnion & #USAA offered special loans to #military members, & they plan to do so again…. #NavyFederal said it would "offer 0% APR loans to eligible members whose pay may be affected, continuing a tradition of assistance seen during previous shutdowns in 2011, 2013 & 2018-2019, when nearly 20k members received support." USAA plans to offer eligible members with accounts a "no-interest loan equal to the amount of one net paycheck."

       @Nonilex Hopefully they'll have to pause military deployment in US cities, and not just keep them in place without pay.

       @Nonilex I don’t think that stiffing the troops and their families for their pay was part of the “warrior ethos” that Hedgehog and Dump talked about yesterday
