The thing that the Trump administration said would happen if Democrats insisted on adding $1.5 trillion in spending - is happening. 
 

On Wednesday, OMB chief Russ Vought told House Republicans on a private call that the administration will begin mass layoffs of federal workers "in a day or two," according to Politico, citing four anonymous individuals.

Vought warned that money is about to run out for both the nutrition program for low-income moms and babies, known as WIC, and for pay for active-duty members of the military.

...

Vought also said billions in infrastructure money for New York, the home state of both Democratic leaders, is being “reviewed.” -Politico

Needless to say, panic has ensued, and is intensifying. 

So - Dems have two days to drop their demands...

The federal government officially shut down at 12:01 a.m. this morning, the first lapse in funding since 2019.

Roughly 750,000 federal workers are furloughed without pay, with "essential" employees forced to keep working - for now, without a paycheck. Active-duty military service members could soon see missed salaries if the impasse drags on, raising real-world stakes far beyond Capitol Hill.

How long will it last? According to Polymarket, most people think it will last two or more weeks
