The U.S. government shutdown entered its 14th day without a resolution as federal employee reductions continued, according to BlockBeats news. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced plans for further staff cuts while assuring payment to military personnel and law enforcement officers. On Tuesday, the OMB posted on social media, stating: ‘We are fully prepared to address the Democratic Party’s stubborn stance. We will ensure payments for military personnel and law enforcement, proceed with layoffs, and await further developments.’ The OMB initiated its first round of workforce reductions on Friday, cutting over 4,000 federal employees, escalating tensions between government funding and the Democratic Party.
