@abc7la: (10/10/25) In a rare appearance on C-SPAN, House Speaker #MikeJohnson heard from one #militarymom who begged him to bring the House back to session to pass a standalone bill to provide #military troops pay during the #governmentshutdown. The individual was identified on the call as "Samantha" -- a #Republican from Fort Belvoir, #Virginia, who said she’s "very disappointed" with the Republican Party over the #shutdown. She said her "kids could die" if her family experiences a lapse in pay on Oct. 15.

We should be embarrassed if our Military Families are need to go to food banks. Most military family’s live paycheck to paycheck.

She is probably going to get in trouble for sharing her thoughts. That’s how the military is

My son was hospitalized on Tuesday, we have Tricare. They better not send me a single bill. I will not be paying ANYTHING. My husband is still at work but he won’t be paid. Any other profession this would be unacceptable! But we are expected to just wait around to be paid?

Do we realize that whether democrat or republican you’re still an American and should care for our troops

Fired? You won’t get paid, or reimbursed for days worked, but if you don’t work, you’ll no longer have potential to be paid 🙄

Shout out to everyone that voted for this. We can blame congress but all this could’ve been prevented last November. You’re all just as responsible as the congress members on vacation

I got out of the army and my husband is still in the army but it is ridiculous that being in the army you don’t get paid a lot unless you are a higher ranking officer. My husband and I have a 1 year old son and I am currently 7 months pregnant with our second. I believe that if the military isn’t getting paid then they shouldn’t have to work because we signed a contract saying that we will get paid.

Why should military personnel, and families failing to get the support we defend this nation… we die for this nation.

hi! so here's my hot take. not only should congress not be paid, all of their assets should be frozen. then they can feel that payday pinch just like us. oh and those Monday through Friday 9-5? lmao nope. they should be pulling 7 12s till the job is done, just as it's expected of our troops 💜💜 holding the livelihood of American citizens hostage is a despicable thing to do on all fronts. I'm not blaming dems. I'm not blaming repubs. I'm blaming the government as a whole. this system is broken, it is hurting the citizens of the country congress is elected to represent. we need to make changes so these hostage situations are no longer the answer and the livelihood of constituents are not used as a bargaining tool. ✌

Democrats, Democrats, democrats it's all we are hearing. the American people are suffering right now, most Americans families are living check by check. Those people are rich, they don't care about the poor and the middle class. it's all politic to them.

Both sides are keeping us from getting paid. Pass a fiscal year 2026 budget, that’s the job. Stop with the CRs which have become the norm.
