“我们正朝着美国历史上最长的关闭之一快速前进,”约翰逊说。
与此同时,周末期间,唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布,他命令五角大楼在10月15日动用“所有可用资金”支付约200万名服役人员,以避免因政府关门而错过薪水。
“陆军部已经从上一财年确定了大约80亿美元的未支配研发测试和评估基金(RDTE ),将用于月中发布在10月15日之后资金短缺仍在继续的情况下,向服役人员支付薪水。我们将提供更多信息,”美国陆军部周日在一份声明中表示。
未来会发生什么还不清楚如果政府关闭持续很长一段时间的话。
副总统万斯在谈到福克斯新闻频道时说其中“很大一部分”将来自所得税收入,还有一些额外的关税收入。
“一部分将来自其他领域的紧缩开支,但是,玛丽亚,这是完全正确的。其中很大一部分将来自国税局的收入,”万斯周日表示。“关税收入,还有所得税收入,这将使我们有可能支付我们的部队。"
特朗普的关税正在法庭上受到挑战。
最高法院将决定特朗普的全面的全球互惠关税是否非法使用了国会授予的紧急权力,以及迄今为止征收的数百亿美元是否必须退还。
万斯吹捧特朗普支付军队的策略,称白宫对他们行动的合法性充满信心。
“我们正在做一些非常规的事情,就像特朗普总统经常做的那样,以确保我们的部队能够得到报酬。我们相信我们已经找到了实现这一目标的法律途径,但这对美国总统来说非常重要,尽管(参议院少数党领袖查克)舒默已经关闭了政府,但他不希望我们的部队当然是因为它而受苦,”万斯说。

“当然,我们总是遵守法律,我们总是关注法院案件,我们认为我们有权力做我们需要做的事情。我确信有些人会起诉,那会在法庭上解决,”万斯告诉福克斯新闻频道。
特朗普在周四的内阁会议上表示,他将“只”削减支出民主的程序作为关闭的结果。
“我们会让削减这将是永久性的,我们只会削减民主党的项目。我讨厌告诉你,我想这是有道理的,但我们只是在削减民主党的项目,但我们将开始这样做,”特朗普说
管理和预算办公室Russ Vought宣布80亿美元的绿色能源项目已经取消。这些项目分布在上次选举中投票支持民主党的16个州。
关闭的影响也影响到华盛顿特区的热门景点。史密森尼博物馆和国家动物园从周日开始暂时关闭。
美国广播公司新闻节目主持人杰伊·奥布赖恩采访了一名员工,他可能不得不另找工作,暂时靠他仅有的一点积蓄度日。
“我需要养家糊口。我需要做任何事来赚钱...来支付账单。你知道吗,因为账单,他们不能等。房租不能等。抵押贷款不能等,”这名工人告诉美国广播公司新闻。
Impacts of government shutdown continue, next vote scheduled for Tuesday night
As the government shutdown continues and the impacts become more widespread, the Senate will not vote again on the clean funding bill until Tuesday night.
It is expected to fail for an eighth time.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that it doesn't appear the shutdown will be over soon.
"We're barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history," Johnson said.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, President Donald Trump announced that he ordered the Pentagon to use "all available funds" to pay some 2 million service members on Oct. 15 to avoid missing a paycheck as the shutdown drags on.
"The Department of War has identified approximately $8 billion of unobligated research development testing and evaluation funds (RDTE) from the prior fiscal year that will be used to issue mid monthpaychecks to service members in the event the funding lapse continues past October 15th.We will provide more information as it becomes available," the Department of War said in a statement on Sunday.
It remains unclear what would happen to futurepaychecks if the government shutdown were to continue for an extended period of time.
Vice President JD Vance said on Fox Newsthat "a lot" of that pay would come from income tax revenue, with some additional revenue from tariffs.
"Some of it will come from tightening the belts in other areas but, Maria, this is exactly right. A lot of this will come from incoming revenues to the Internal Revenue Service," Vance said on Sunday. "Tariff revenue, but also income tax revenue that is going to make it possible for us to pay ourtroops."
Trump's tariffs are being challenged in court.
The Supreme Court will decide whether Trump'ssweeping global reciprocal tariffsare an illegal use of emergency authority granted by Congress -- and whether tens of billions of dollars collected so far must be refunded.
Vance touted Trump's maneuvers to pay the military, saying the White House is confident in the legality of their actions.
"We're doing some pretty non-conventional things, as President Trump often does, to ensure that ourtroopsare able to get paid. We are confident we've identified the legal pathways in order to do this, but it's really important for the president of the United States even though (Senate Minority Leader Chuck) Schumer has shut down the government, he doesn't want ourtroopsto suffer because of it, of course," Vance said.
Last week, the White House followed through on its threat to lay off federal employees. Vance warned that "deeper" and "painful" cuts would happen the longer the shutdown goes.
Mass firings have hit the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hard.
The nation's special education services have been significantly impacted after Friday'smasslayoffs within the Department of Education and it could have an immediate impact on children with disabilities, education department sources told ABC News.
"Do people realize that this is happening to this population of vulnerable students?" one education department leader told ABC News.
Vance said on Sunday that the job cuts are legal.
"Of course, we always follow the law, and we always follow court cases, and we think that we have the authority to do what we need to do. I'm sure that some people will sue, and that will get figured out in court," Vance told Fox News.
Trump said at Thursday's Cabinet meeting that he's going to be cutting "only"Democraticprograms as a result of the shutdown.
"And we'll be makingcutsthat will be permanent, and we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you, I guess that makes sense, but we're only cutting Democrat programs, but we're going to start that," Trump said
Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought announced $8 billion in green energy projects had been canceled. The projects were in 16 states that voted for Democrats in the last election.
The impacts of the shutdown are also hitting popular attractions in Washington, D.C. Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo were closed temporarily starting on Sunday.
ABC News' Jay O'Brien spoke to one employee who may have to find another job and get by for now on the minimal savings he has.
"I need to support my family. I need to do anything to bring the money in the house ... to pay the bills. You know,because bills, they can't wait. Rent can't wait. The mortgage can't wait," the worker told ABC News.
