Vance Warns of More Federal Worker Cuts Amid Shutdown
As the government shutdown continues, Vice President JD Vance has warned of further “painful” cuts to the federal workforce. These cuts are anticipated to affect thousands of employees, with the Office of Management and Budget already planning for layoffs. This ongoing stalemate, which began due to disagreements over health insurance subsidies, has led to the closure of institutions like the Smithsonian and has escalated tensions between Republicans and Democrats. While both sides blame each other for the impasse, the Republican administration shows no signs of yielding to Democratic demands or abandoning the prospect of additional workforce reductions.
