American Red Cross Assists Military Members Amid Government Shutdown
The government shutdown has surpassed 28 days with no resolution 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 concerns escalating over the potential impact on military pay.
- The Trump administration has shifted $8 billion from military research and development funds to pay active-duty members.
- Despite this, military members may start missing pay this Friday.
Vice President JD Vance believes that members will be paid at the end of this week.
The American Red Cross is among the organizations nationwide providing assistance to military service members affected by the shutdown.
