What to know on Day 11 of the government shutdown:
- Federal employees began receiving notices on Friday telling them they will be laid off in 60 days, CBS News has confirmed, after the Trump administration floated layoffs during the government shutdown. But some layoff notices issued to CDC employees were rescinded, multiple sources familiar with the situation told CBS News Saturday. Â
- More than 4,000 workers at seven federal agencies could get layoff notices, according to a court filing.Â
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said “we’re not in a good mood” as he noted Friday marks the first day that federal workers will not receive their full paychecks since the shutdown began on Oct. 1. The continued stalemate also makes it highly likely members of the military will miss their next paycheck, expected to arrive on Oct. 15.
- There has been little movement in Congress toward ending the government shutdown in recent days. The Senate rejected motions to advance Democratic and Republican-backed spending bills for a seventh time Thursday and left town until Tuesday afternoon, meaning the deadlock will not be resolved until at least next week.
- Several U.S. airports have experienced flight delays this week due to shortages of air traffic controllers, who are considered essential workers and have been working without pay since funding lapsed earlier this month. But they are expected to receive back pay once the shutdown ends.Â
