Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Not 100% sure, but they should have received all their back pay including OT.
There's also a bill moving to use an FAA fund that pays for any damage done to commandeered airplanes to pay ATC during in future shutdown.
And like, our last budget was FY24, we already lapped without a budget before anybody paid attention. I legitimately think will keeping using "continuing resolutions" until trump's out of office.
Even if Dems sweep in midterms, trump won't sign it if it's not exactly what he wants.
Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
SNAP benefit money was already approved by Congress specifically during government shutdowns because of those issues in the past. The money was already allocated. Trump chose to have the administration not process that.
Yeah, but it's been 11 days since CR...
I don't know their pay schedule, but statistically speaking they were paid today at the latest.
What are you going off of?
You mean about Trump not paying people?
Because that's well documented for decades, across his businesses, even as recently as the East Wing demolition.
Or do you mean about the money already being available and Trump choosing not to distribute it?
SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past
Do you think he personally signs the checks?
It was people in offices waiting to press a button on a computer, when the CR passed they were able to press the button.
I don't know why you keep wanting to talk about snap, no one else was talking about snap but you keep mentioning it...
Of course not. Just like he doesn't personally handle the payments for his businesses that don't pay contractors. I guarantee it was his decision to actively not pay them though.
Because it's a recent example of the Trump administration actively choosing not to make payments that are owed, and are even normally handled automatically.
Not sure how you're missing the relevance to whether they are not making other owed payments related to similar events.
