More On Government

Some Coast Guard families began receiving back pay Monday, and all could be made whole by Wednesday.

Trump announced he would sign legislation that would open government until Feb. 15 to make time to reach a border compromise.

More than 11,000 have signed on to a White House petition proposing a more radical move to get Coasties their paychecks.

Some Coast Guard activities have been halted or curtailed as the U.S. enters its fifth week of a government shutdown.

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-California, says she will continue to press for Defense Department policy reform.

"The outpouring of support for our Coast Guard community has been truly inspirational to watch."

"Alexander Hamilton would be proud."

"Active-duty Coast Guard servicemen and women remain on the job even as they and their families go without compensation."

President Trump on Thursday abruptly denied military aircraft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a foreign trip.

As Coast Guard paychecks went undelivered Tuesday, the service's top officer urged its members to stay the course.
