W House says firings ‘imminent’
Cape Argus
|October 03, 2025
EFFORTS to swiftly end the US government shutdown collapsed this week as Democrats in Congress went home without resolving a funding standoff with President Donald Trump and the White House threatened public sector jobs.

Federal funding expired at midnight after Trump and lawmakers failed to agree on a deal to keep the lights on, prompting agencies to wind down services, while the White House warned of “imminent” firings of public sector workers.
Senate Democrats - who are demanding extended health care subsidies for low-income families - refused to help the majority Republicans approve a House-passed bill that would have reopened the government for several weeks while negotiations continue.
Voting in the Senate is now adjourned until Friday, frustrating hopes for a quick resolution.
Around 750 000 federal employees are expected to be placed on furlough - a kind of enforced leave, with pay withheld until they return to work.
