About 1.4 million civilian federal employees went without pay on Friday, Oct. 24, as the U.S. government shutdown reached its 24th day. The standoff centers on whether to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, with ripple effects from delayed federal data to strained services.
The U.S. Senate rejected competing partisan bills aimed at paying some federal employees amid the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 23rd day. The failure highlights deepening partisan divides as essential workers, including air traffic controllers and TSA agents, continue laboring without pay. Aviation groups have urged Congress to end the shutdown before Thanksgiving travel strains the system further.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has expressed opposition to a standalone Senate bill aimed at compensating federal workers and military members during the ongoing government shutdown. He described the legislation as a political ploy that would give President Donald Trump discretion over payments. This stance comes as Democrats have repeatedly blamed Republicans for the shutdown's impact on employees.
