White House Warns More Layoffs Likely as Shutdown Continues

“The longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts are going to be,”said senior adviser J.D. Vance, as multiple federal departments confirm employees have already received layoff notices.

“There aren’t Democrat workers or agencies and Republican agencies,”said Senator Mark Kelly, calling the rhetoric divisive.
