Federal workers struggle without pay amid long shutdown

Season 2025 Episode 306 | 8m 10s

Sunday marks day 33 of the government shutdown with no end in sight. Approximately 650,000 furloughed federal workers received fresh notices telling them to stay home without working and without pay, and many are beginning to feel the pinch. John Yang speaks with Jeremy Mayer at George Mason University for more on what could soon become the longest shutdown on record.
