American Red Cross Supports Military Amid Government Shutdown
The government shutdown has surpassed 28 days with no end in sight, prompting the American Red Cross to provide aid to military service members who may miss paychecks.
Disagreements between Republicans and Democrats have led to the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, with negotiations among legislators remaining stagnant.
Impact on Military Pay
After the Trump administration redirected $8 billion from military research and development funds, active-duty members may start missing pay this Friday, despite Vice President JD Vance's statement that members would be paid by the end of the week.
An American Red Cross spokesperson said the organization is coming to the aid of military service members amid the ongoing government shutdown.
Effects on SNAP and Military Families
The shutdown also affects SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and military families, exacerbating concerns about their well-being.
