BREAKING: Republicans Step Up for Troops. Democrats Stand in the Way.

As the Democrat shutdown drags into another week, the White House announced a temporary workaround to ensure troops receive pay.

House Republicans have already passed legislation to fund the military and keep essential government operations running. Senate Democrats continue to block those bills while demanding $1.5 trillion in unrelated spending, forcing military families to live with uncertainty.

“Democrats’ shutdown put military families in limbo while they engaged in political theater. Thanks to President Trump and the work of House Republicans, our troops’ paychecks are protected for now. Democrats need to end the chaos and open the government now.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
