The White House has warned that more federal job losses are likely as the government shutdown drags on, causing frustration nationwide.
Layoffs, funding confusion, and closed museums are among the issues fueling this frustration.
“The longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts are going to be,”said senior adviser J.D. Vance, as multiple federal departments confirm employees have already received layoff notices.
President Trump defended the move, stating that the administration is ending programs it "never wanted," many of them "Democrat-sponsored."
“There aren’t Democrat workers or agencies and Republican agencies,”said Senator Mark Kelly, calling the rhetoric divisive.
