Government Shutdown 2025 Updates: Furloughed workers miss paycheck

WASHINGTON - Friday marks day 10 of the federal government shutdown and the first day furloughed workers will go without a two-week paycheck.

Another pay deadline looms

FOX 5’s Stephanie Ramirez reports that while some visitors to the nation’s capital remain hopeful the situation will be resolved soon, many federal workers directly impacted say the reality is hitting hard.

Another pay deadline looms as lawmakers have until Monday to process military payments, or servicemembers may not get paid.

On Capitol Hill, the Senate adjourned Thursday without voting on any spending measures. No votes are scheduled for Friday, and lawmakers aren’t expected back until Tuesday. With the House also out, the shutdown is all but guaranteed to stretch into another week.
