18:33 GMT 03.10.2025 (Updated: 18:34 GMT 03.10.2025) WASHINGTON, October 3 (Sputnik) - Some 1.3 million of US service members are not being paid because of the government shutdown, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Friday.

The federal government shut down Wednesday amid partisan deadlock in Congress over spending.
As hundreds of thousands of federal workers and military service members were furloughed without pay and an array of services cut off, Republican and Democratic lawmakers and White House officials (whose salaries are safe) have launched a meme war online, demanding that the other side back down.
President Trump has threatened to use the shutdown to slash federal departments.
