Johnson: 'We’re barreling towards one of the longest shutdowns in American history'

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has raised alarms about the ongoing government shutdown, now in its thirteenth day, suggesting it could extend to become one of the longest in American history. This situation is particularly concerning as the Trump administration has already laid off over 4,000 federal workers across seven agencies, highlighting the significant impact on public services and employees. The implications of such a prolonged shutdown could be far-reaching, affecting everything from government operations to the livelihoods of those who depend on federal jobs.
