Over 250,000 federal employees are currently unpaid as the U.S. government faces its second week of shutdown, with the potential for two million more to be affected if it continues. This situation intensifies the pressure on Congress to pass a budget to reopen the government. President Trump has suggested the possibility of withholding back pay from certain employees, which goes against previous practices and laws. The shutdown is causing significant economic concerns as missed paychecks could lead to drops in household spending and operational risks in essential services.
