Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) has approved the structure of the Company’s previously announced $6,000,000 financing with a single institutional investor (the ‘Offering’). The Company will now proceed to submit its formal application for conditional approval of the Offering. Further details regarding the terms of the Offering and timing of closing will be provided once conditional approval has been received, which is expected shortly.

The company also reports, that further to its Sept. 22, 2025, news release, the company is oversubscribed for its $3,000,000 unit private placement at $1.00. This financing will close subsequent to the above financing, as several subscribers have requested that the closing of the $6,000,000 institutional financing be a precedent and so the company has requested and received approval from the TSX-V to extend the closing of that financing to Oct. 24, 2025.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR,OTC:LFLRF) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (‘LaFleur Minerals’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the engagement of global mining, sustainability, and environmental consultant firm Environmental Resources Management (‘ERM’) for the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’) for the purpose of restarting gold production at the Company’s wholly-owned Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material from its Swanson Gold Deposit (‘Swanson’). Both the Swanson Gold Project and Beacon Gold Mill are located in proximity to one another and strategically positioned in one of the world’s largest and most established gold-producing regions, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. On the back of recent news of the ongoing drilling program that is delivering encouraging high-grade assay results that suggest continuity and scale of the mineralized system, and potential for further expansion at the Swanson Gold Deposit (refer to press release dated September 24, 2025), ERM now brings a highly experienced technical team to deliver a robust mining and economic study for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill using mineralized material primarily supplied from the Company’s Swanson Gold Deposit.

LaFleur Minerals IS AIMING TO RESTART THE BEACON GOLD MILL USING MINERALIZED MATERIAL PRIMARILY SUPPLIED FROM THE COMPANY’S 100%-OWNED SWANSON GOLD DEPOSIT, LOCATED IN VAL D’OR, QUEBEC, CANADA, WITH TOLL MILLING OPTIONS FROM OTHER REGIONAL COMPANY DEPOSITS.

Kal Malhi, Chairman of LaFleur Minerals, comments, ‘Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above US$3,800 per ounce offers amazing economic potential. The Beacon Gold Mill last operated in 2022 when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce. Having 100% ownership of the Beacon Gold Mill, along with a fully permitted tailings storage facility and the nearby Swanson Gold Deposit differentiates LaFleur Minerals from single facet junior gold exploration companies and offers investors a true near-term gold producing investment. LaFleur isn’t relying on toll milling other companies’ gold deposits, but a fully functional and vertically integrated gold mining company on the cusp of producing ounces aimed for early 2026 from its own Swanson Gold Deposit.’

Preliminary Economic Assessment Study

The Company is working diligently with ERM to complete the PEA in the coming weeks. The PEA will be managed by ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group, based in Toronto, Ontario, which operates as the technical services arm of ERM. ERM acquired CSA Global in 2019 to strengthen its capabilities in mineral resource/reserve evaluation, mining and metallurgical engineering, and to complement its established business in environmental stewardship and sustainable development across the mining sector. ERM’s Technical Mining Services Group will oversee and disclose technical study results as part of the PEA, including the mineral resource estimate update, open-pit mine plan, and ore-sorting and metallurgical testing programs and Beacon Gold Mill restart costs. The ERM team includes highly experienced mining engineers, metallurgists, resource geologists, and environmental and sustainability specialists, ensuring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation. This collaboration underscores LaFleur Minerals’ commitment to responsible resource development and positions the Company to capitalize on the current gold market momentum.

The PEA will serve as the basis for the restart of Beacon Mill, which was recently refurbished with over $20 million worth of upgrades and includes a fully permitted tailings storage facility. Beacon Gold Mill’s state of readiness significantly reduces CAPEX and the timeline for a production restart, which the Company expects will be validated through a realistic PEA. The PEA will also benefit from mill operating data from 2022 when the mill last ran at gold price of US$1600/ounce and aims to provide accurate, real-world cost estimates across mining, milling, and tailings operations.

Regulations require companies to define initial mineral resources on a project via a PEA, and this applies to the Beacon Gold Mill production restart and the Swanson Gold Deposit. The Company believes that there are three reasons why the PEA, which includes restarting the Beacon Gold Mill with mineralized material supply from the Swanson Gold Deposit, will be a sufficient and comprehensive plan for gold production restart.

  1. Realistic Costing: The PEA will provide a AACE class 5 estimate understanding of costs, from blasting, mining, moving a tonne of material to milling, and to operating the tailings treatment facility. Additionally, the mill was operational as recent as two years ago, so costs for that facility are also well understood. Most PEA studies rely on rough estimates for milling costs; the inclusion of the Beacon Mill in the PEA will have realized operating costs from when the mill last operated in 2022, at a time when the price of gold was US$1,600 per ounce.

  2. The Beacon Gold Mill was recently refurbished by Monarch Mining for C$20 million in 2022 and is already built with a state of readiness to restart. Most PEA studies include as-yet unanswered questions on essential aspects; examples include a full definition of processing flowsheets, mining methods, tailings facility design, or human resource requirements. With the Beacon Mill having operated only a few years ago and with the Company having studied and remedied many of the issues from that period over the last 18 months, there are very few outstanding engineering questions at the Beacon Mill aside from equipment upgrades. A Mining Model for the restart has been reviewed and refined by LaFleur and Consultants and will form a strong part of the PEA, maintenance and repairs.

Tailings Dam Lift

As part of the PEA disclosure, LaFleur Minerals has conducted technical studies to support upgrades to the Tailing Pond located at the Beacon Mill, providing complete details of the required upgrades and associated costs.

Definition Drilling

Definition drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit is currently underway with ‘twinning’ of mineralized holes at the Swanson Deposit. This effort is expected to provide confident updated mineral resource confirmation at the Swanson Gold Deposit using a diamond drill.

The twinned holes are planned to confirm and refine the spacing between historical intercepts, thereby confirming the existing geological model and analytical results that define the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Swanson Project.

Open-Pit Mining Scenario at Swanson Gold Deposit

The entirety of the MRE at the Swanson Gold Deposit is located on an existing mining lease, and permitting is in progress to extract mineralization destined for the Beacon Gold Mill. The mining lease permits the extraction of a large bulk sample of mineralized material with minimal permitting requirements.

As part of the PEA, LaFleur Minerals has commissioned an ore-sorting study using Swanson Gold Deposit material in partnership with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). The ore-sorting technology will concentrate the mineralized material prior shipment by truck to the Beacon Gold Mill, reducing trucking costs and minimizing waste rock processing at the Beacon Gold Mill. The ore-sorted material will also undergo metallurgical testing by SGS Minerals in Lakefield to simulate metallurgical results at the Beacon Gold Mill.

The Swanson Gold Deposit is easily road accessible with minimal infrastructure improvements required and only ~60 kilometres from the Beacon Gold Mill, making it an ideal source of mineralized material to be trucked over for processing. LaFleur Minerals is currently receiving detailed quotation for trucking concentrate material from the Swanson Gold Deposit to the Beacon Gold Mill, and these costs will form part of the market studies and contracts section of the PEA. The Abitibi region is otherwise flush with nearby deposits that could be potential sources of material for custom milling purposes (refer to Figure 1).

Paul Ténière, CEO of LaFleur Minerals, commented, ‘Engaging a consulting firm of the caliber and reputation of ERM to complete our PEA marks a significant milestone for LaFleur Minerals. By combining our district-scale exploration and resource potential with the fully-permitted Beacon Gold Mill, we are advancing a near-term, sustainable production pathway in one of the world’s most prolific gold camps. This is an exciting step that positions us to unlock significant value for shareholders. We think we are strongly aligned with both strong investor appetite for safe, secure, and high-quality assets and favorable market timing with gold trading near record levels, as we advance the Swanson Gold Deposit with near-term production potential.

Site Visit

The Company held a Beacon Gold Mill site visit for analysts, investors and consultants in Val d’Or, Québec during August 2025 and received very positive feedback and appreciation in the Company’s stock price following the mill visit. LaFleur will be holding a second site visit at the Beacon Gold Mill and Swanson Gold Project on October 7-8, 2025, for prospective investors and financiers, as well as ERM. ERM will attend to begin investigations for the purpose of assessing the state of readiness and infrastructure at the Beacon Mine and Mill, including equipment and tailing storage facility, and the quality of mineralized material and access at the Swanson Gold Project to gather detailed information required to complete the PEA.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (October 6) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$124,548, up by 1.1 percent in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$122,538, and its highest was US$124,691.

Bitcoin price performance, October 6, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

BTC extended its rebound early in the week but is now testing a ‘crucial resistance zone’, according to crypto investor Ted Pillows. He noted that the recent push above this level was largely driven by perpetual futures, rather than spot or institutional demand. If institutional bids return as they did last week, Bitcoin could reclaim higher ground; otherwise, a sharp correction toward the US$118,000–US$120,000 range remains likely.

Bitcoin dominance in the crypto market now stands at 55.17 percent.

Ether (ETH) has closely followed Bitcoin’s upward price movement, rising by roughly 12 percent since the last days of September. It was priced at US$4,587.82, a 0.9 percent increase in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$4,481.90, and its highest was US$4,593.39.

ETH continues to hold firm above its US$4,500 support, with Pillows highlighting US$4,750 as the next major resistance level. However, he also warned that a drop below the US$4,250–US$4,060 zone would shift momentum back to the bears.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$234.11, an increase of 1 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation on Monday was US$226.96, and its highest valuation was US$234.34.
  • XRP was trading for US$3.00, down by 0.2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.95, and its highest was US$3.01.

ETF data and derivatives trends

The Fear & Greed Index currently reads 59, remaining firmly in neutral territory since the tail end of last week.

Last week, the cumulative net flow for spot Bitcoin ETFs was predominantly positive, with several days of inflows. According to data from the week of September 29 to October 3, spot Bitcoin ETFs had inflows on all 5 days, with October 3 recording the highest inflows at US$985.08M. The inflows were led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC).

Cumulative total inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs stood at US$60.05 billion as of October 3.

On the derivatives side, CoinGlass data shows Bitcoin futures open interest at US$93.53 billion, an increase of 2.13 percent over 24 hours and a rise of 0.89 percent over four hours. Open interest for Ether futures is at US$61.69 billion, up 0.93 percent over 24 hours and a 0.81 percent boost over four hours.

Today’s crypto news to know

Morgan Stanley endorses Bitcoin allocation for client portfolios

Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Committee has formally advised clients to include digital assets in their portfolios, marking a significant policy shift for one of Wall Street’s most established banks.

In a note dated October 5, the firm recommended up to 4 percent crypto exposure in “opportunistic growth” portfolios and up to 2 percent for “balanced growth” accounts. The report also emphasized Bitcoin’s role as a “scarce, digitally native asset” with increasing institutional relevance.

The guidance coincided with Bitcoin’s rally past US$125,000 over the weekend, before settling near the US$123,000 range.

While many investors view the move as validation of Bitcoin’s maturing status and the formal ushering of crypto’s ‘mainstream era’, some traders called it “too late” given prior gains.

Morgan Stanley also confirmed that its E*Trade platform will soon allow trading in Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana via a partnership with ZeroHash.

Coinbase seeks national trust charter to expand payment services

Coinbase has applied for a national trust company charter from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a move designed to expand its payments and custody operations under unified federal oversight.

In a company blog post, Vice President Greg Tusar clarified that Coinbase “has no intention of becoming a bank,” but aims to streamline regulation for new financial products.

Approval would enable Coinbase to scale its recently launched Coinbase Payments platform, which facilitates stablecoin transactions for merchants on Shopify and eBay.

Coinbase has also deepened partnerships with JPMorgan Chase, enabling direct account links between Chase customers and Coinbase wallets through API integration.

Similar OCC charter applications have been filed by other platforms as digital payment infrastructure moves further into mainstream finance.

Galaxy launches GalaxyOne platform

Galaxy Digital has rolled out GalaxyOne, a new trading and yield platform for individual investors, marking its first major push beyond institutional clients.

The platform offers crypto trading alongside high-yield products, including an 8 percent APY investment option limited to accredited investors. A 4 percent APY cash account, branded “GalaxyOne Cash,” is also available to non-accredited users through FDIC-insured partner Cross River Bank.

Managing Director Zac Prince said the firm aims to fill a “gap between retail traders and institutional clients,” positioning GalaxyOne as a mid-tier service with premium features.

The launch places Galaxy in direct competition with consumer-facing brokers like Robinhood and Kraken, both of which have expanded their crypto offerings this year.

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA TheNewswire – October 6, 2025 – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces its subsidiary, EnerCam Resources Co. Ltd. (Cambodia) (‘EnerCam’) has reviewed preliminary data from South Bokor Basin from the 2-D seismic program recently completed on Block VIII (‘Project’).

Keith Edwards, Technical Manager of EnerCam, comments on South Bokor Basin, ‘We have a

preliminary view of what appears as a substantial structure in the most southerly South Bokor Basin.  The structure, which is an anticline, appears to have roughly 48 square kilometers of closure and has been named the ‘South Bokor Lead’, located between 900-1500 meters from surface. We look forward to confirmation of internal structures upon completion of seismic processing and an integrated geological and geophysical interpretation in November. As we receive more data, and can apply that to the other basins, we look to determine a trend that may develop as we cover the central and more northern portions of the seismic program.   M anagement has confirmed the South Bokor Lead as the first drill target identified from the seismic program.’

Figure 1 : The map above is based on 7 East West lines and is the map of a major unconformity that is clearly visible on the seismic.  Layers above the mapped horizon are thought to be Cretaceous-Jurassic age while the layers below are thought to be Lower Jurassic to Permian in age.  This hypothesis is based on analogs in the Khorat Plateau in Thailand.

The anticline identified as the South Bokor Lead results from the interpretation of the first of four subbasins the seismic program covered on Block VIII and was the first area on which seismic was shot early in August and the first data to be received.  The remaining data from other areas of seismic is expected in segments by the latter part of October and the interpretation of that data will continue and follow thereafter.

Structural Anticline

Top of the anticline lies between two sets of semi-parallel surface hills, one side of which has a gentler slope than the other.   Reference:  geowhy.com, Oregon Basin Oil Field, Geology of Wyoming.

Anticlines contribute to the majority of oil and gas discoveries globally.   However, in order to trap hydrocarbons, there must be an impermeable layer of rock on the top surface of the dome to hold the hydrocarbons in place, one of the elements which only drilling can prove.

The mission for EnerCam is to discover Cambodia’s first commercial onshore oil and gas, as currently the country imports all its hydrocarbon-based energy products, spending several billion dollars per year.   (reference:  Cambodia imports: oec.world/en/profile/country/khm).  The seismic program included 24 lines across three provinces, employed 38 Khmer residents with 15 contractors coming from Thailand with the EnviroSeis equipment.

Edwards provides further comments, ‘ The Khmer teams were amazing, happy to learn and accomplished the work, despite the challenges.  The initial seismic data clearly shows the gross structure and various bright spots and unconformities, but we have only just started the interpretation and need more time to refine and draw definitive conclusions.’

Mike Weeks, President of EnerCam, comments ‘ Proving there is commercial oil and gas in Cambodia starts with seismic giving us sufficient information to determine drill targets.   Based on that, we are very pleased with now knowing the first subbasin is an anticline with four way closure.   This is the foundation for building out a robust program as we advance to more interpretation across the area of seismic completed.   Drilling is the only way to prove an oil and gas resource, and with no history of onshore drilling in Cambodia, the process of determining the best targets takes longer.    We still have three more subbasins to cover, so by the end of this year the science will tell us if we can plan a multi-hole exploratory drill program for next year.’

Figure 3 : An EW seismic line over the South Bokor Structure

A description of the seismic from professional geologist Justin Snelling follows.  ‘Our preliminary view of the seismic reflections across the top of the structure is that they are mostly sub-parallel bedded, with seismic features that encourage us to believe there may be a thick sealing mudstone band which can form a good seal just above the mapped surface. The reflections within the anticline are discontinuous, structurally more complex, and display higher amplitudes, encouraging us to hope for significant reservoir rock development. If we are correct in our assumptions, then it is likely that fluids are trapped within this closed structure. Until the structure is drilled however, and actual petrophysical data gathered, there is no way to know what the composition of these rocks might be, nor that of any hydrocarbon fluids which may have been trapped within this four-way closure, or yet the potential value of any such resources trapped in this structure.’

Additional processing and interpretation is ongoing across the entire 24 lines of completed seismic.

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said he believes President Donald Trump’s new Gaza peace plan could represent a ‘once-in-a-generation opportunity for Middle East peace.’

On Monday, Trump released his Gaza peace plan, which Israel agreed to. Despite U.S. criticism of the U.N.’s actions in Gaza, the plan relies on the international body’s assistance. When asked how this would work, Waltz said that the U.S., while working with the U.N. in Gaza, will ‘continue to call it out’ and will ‘demand reforms.’

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Waltz highlighted a key issue with the U.N.: aid delivery in Gaza. The U.N.’s numbers show that nearly 90% of its aid trucks were intercepted by armed groups or crowds of hungry people between May 19 and Aug. 5. The U.S. has pointed to Hamas as the main culprit, saying operatives of the terrorist organization steal the aid to make money by selling it.

‘We can’t have a situation where U.N. agencies — the U.S. pays for about a quarter of their costs — are actually delivering aid in a way that Hamas takes it over. Hamas uses it to make money reselling it on the black market,’ Waltz told Fox News Digital.

The U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been heavily criticized by the U.N., said on Friday that it had delivered more than 178 million meals since starting its operation in May.

Waltz hit the ground running after his appointment to the role on Sept. 19, just days before the international body held its ‘High-level Week.’ During that week, leaders from around the world, including Trump, addressed fellow member states in New York City.

Trump has made it clear that his goal is to be a peacemaker, something Waltz emphasized during his sit-down with Fox News Digital. However, that doesn’t mean he isn’t bringing his own experience to the role.

‘Green Berets are called ‘warrior diplomats.’ We often have a big stick behind us,’ Waltz, who was the first Green Beret elected to Congress, told Fox News Digital.

He compared this ethos to Trump’s handling of Iran over the summer.

‘He gave them opportunity after opportunity to walk away from a weaponized nuclear program, to handover their enriched materials, to engage in diplomacy and when they didn’t, our amazing B-2s went and took it out,’ he said.

Waltz said he was looking to follow Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visions to carry out America First policies and ‘make the U.N. great again.’ He said the institution had moved away from its roots and was not acting as a place where everyone from around the world could work out issues, but the U.S. is looking to bring that back.

The other major priority for the U.S. at the U.N., according to Waltz, is to get rid of ‘the bloat.’

‘Like any bureaucracy over 80 years, it has gotten too big, too bureaucratic, and therefore less effective. So I’m not going to say that we’re going to pull the DOGE up here, but we definitely need to make some cuts,’ he told Fox News Digital.

Waltz pointed to a recent vote on Haiti as an example of the U.S. working to achieve results at the U.N. As a former congressman from Florida, he noted that the lawlessness in Haiti has spilled onto U.S. shores. However, Waltz believes the U.N.-backed gang-suppression force will restore law and order, without making the U.S. foot the bill.

‘In line with what the president has demanded, we’re going to share the burden,’ Waltz said. ‘Other countries are involved. Kenya has taken the lead, El Salvador is taking a key role. Other countries are paying for it. It’s not just all on the United States’ shoulders.’

Waltz acknowledged Americans’ skepticism about the U.N., but he argued that it’s essential for the world’s leaders to meet on U.S. soil, and for Washington to remain at the table. He also pointed to the growing influence of international bodies on the American economy through regulation.

‘There’s all these international bodies that can directly affect our economy and our way of life that touch aviation and how we fly around the world, space, telecommunications, radio, data,’ he said. ‘And just as we fight for deregulation in our own federal government, we certainly don’t want global overregulation on many of our industries.’

Waltz stressed that staying engaged globally is critical to protecting U.S. interests and preventing bad actors from filling the void.

‘We have to say engaged, I think, to fight for the values that we hold dear. And if anything, this president is a fighter. We’re going to keep fighting for our way of life,’ Waltz said.

The FBI says two men have been indicted in connection with an alleged money-laundering scheme tied to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s children.

The indictments come after a years-long investigation that dates back to 2019 when the FBI’s Miami Field Office launched the probe based on indications that Arick Komarczyk opened U.S. bank accounts for Maduro’s children and their U.S.-based associates. Suspicious Activity Reports allegedly showed that Komarczyk received wire transfers from individuals and businesses in Venezuela, according to the FBI.

An undercover operation in 2022 revealed that Komarczyk and his associate, Irazmar Carbajal, agreed to move $100,000 of what the FBI believed to be sanctioned money belonging to members of Venezuela’s government. The FBI said the men moved about $25,000 into the U.S.

The bureau noted that when confronted about the situation, Kormarczyk was not alarmed, rather he called it ‘sexy business.’

FBI Director Kash Patel said money-laundering schemes linked to Maduro were ‘criminal lifelines’ for his regime.

‘Nicolás Maduro is not just another corrupt strongman, he is an indicted narcoterrorist dictator with a $50 million bounty on his head from the United States Department of Justice,’ Patel said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital. ‘His regime’s laundering schemes are nothing more than criminal lifelines for a failing dictatorship, and under my leadership, this FBI will continue to choke off every dollar, every account, and every enabler. America will never be a safe haven for Maduro’s blood money.’

On Sept. 25, both Kormarczyk and Carbajal were indicted in Florida. Kormarczyk was indicted on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit unlicensed money transmitting, while Carbajal was indicted for conspiracy to commit unlicensed money transmitting.

Carbajal traveled from his home country of Uruguay to the Dominican Republic, but he was deported on Oct. 2. The deportation flight made a layover in the U.S., where Carbajal was arrested, the FBI said. Meanwhile, Komarczyk is believed to be living in Venezuela, according to the bureau.

‘The Maduro regime’s alleged efforts to attempt evasion and conduct money laundering in the United States through third-party individuals will not go unchecked,’ FBI Miami Special Agent in Charge Brett Skiles said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital.

‘Komarczyk and Carbajal’s indictments should demonstrate the FBI’s commitment to investigating alleged international money laundering involving [Office of Foreign Assets Control] sanctioned governments and individuals,’ Skiles added. ‘The United States and our financial institutions will never be a safe haven for international corruption and money laundering, particularly for those countries which pose significant risks to our national interests.’

The U.S. does not recognize Maduro as a legitimate leader and the Department of Justice has an active reward for information leading to his arrest and/or conviction.

Patel’s remarks echoed the Trump administration’s condemnation of the Maduro regime.

In July, on the one-year anniversary of an election in which Maduro declared himself the winner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement expressing solidarity with the people of Venezuela. He vowed the United States would continue working with its partners ‘to hold accountable the corrupt, criminal and illegitimate Maduro regime.’

The government shutdown costs taxpayers $400 million every day to pay federal employees who are not actively working, totaling $1.2 billion as of Friday, Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data published by Sen. Joni Ernst’s, R-Iowa, office estimates. 

‘Schumer’s Shutdown Shenanigans mean taxpayers will be on the hook for another $400 million today to pay 750,000 non-essential bureaucrats NOT to work,’ Ernst said in comment to Fox News Digital Friday. 

‘Democrats’ political stunt to fight for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants has officially become a billion-dollar boondoggle,’ she added. ‘Enough has to be enough for the radical left. We must reopen the government and get Washington back to work serving veterans, families, and hardworking Americans.’ 

A law passed in 2019 requires furloughed employees receive backpay after a funding agreement is reached and a shutdown ends. The CBO found that the furloughed employees’ daily cost of compensation sits at about $400 million, or a total of $1.2 billion as of Friday. 

‘Using information from the agencies’ contingency plans and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), CBO estimates that under a lapse in discretionary funding for fiscal year 2026 about 750,000 employees could be furloughed each day; the total daily cost of their compensation would be roughly $400 million,’ a letter from the Congressional Budget Office to Ernst stated Tuesday. The data was released after the Iowa Republican requested CBO provide a data cost breakdown of the shutdown in September as the deadline clock ran out. 

The CBO data largely was based on statistics from a five-week partial shutdown that ran from Dec. 22, 2018, until Jan. 25, 2019, under the first Trump administration, the office noted in its letter to Ernst.

The letter added that the number of furloughed federal employees, which is currently estimated to sit at about 750,000 staffers, could vary by the day ‘because some agencies might furlough more employees the longer a shutdown persists and others might recall some initially furloughed employees.’ 

The government shut down early Wednesday morning after Senate lawmakers failed to reach a budget agreement. House lawmakers had approved a short-term extension of fiscal year 2025 funding earlier in September that aimed to keep the government funded through Nov. 21. 

The Trump administration and Republicans have since pinned blame for the shutdown on Democrats, claiming they sought taxpayer-funded medical benefits for illegal immigrants. Democrats have denied they want to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants, and instead have blamed Republicans for the shutdown.

Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer’s office for comment on the CBO data and Ernst’s remarks but did not immediately receive a reply. 

White House spokesman Kush Desai slammed Democrats as ‘not serious people’ when asked about the CBO data Friday morning. 

‘Democrats are burning $400 million a day to pay federal workers not to work because they want to spend $200 billion on free health care for illegal aliens,’ Desai told Fox News Digital. ‘These are not serious people.’ 

Trump repeatedly has said he did not want a shutdown to unfold, but noted Tuesday as the clock ran out that some ‘good’ could come from it. 

‘A lot of good can come down from shutdowns,’ he told reporters. ‘We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn’t want, and they’d be Democrat things. But they want open borders. They want men playing in women’s sports. They want transgender for everybody. They never stop. They don’t learn. We won an election in a landslide.’ 

The administration is expected to lay off federal employees across various agencies amid the shutdown, with Trump meeting Office of Management and Budget chief Russell Vought Thursday to map out which departments and programs to target for cuts. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that ‘thousands’ of employees will likely be laid off. 

‘Look, it’s likely going to be in the thousands,’ Leavitt said. ‘It’s a very good question. And that’s something that the Office of Management and Budget and the entire team at the White House here, again, is unfortunately having to work on today.’

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Republicans are winning the messaging war over the ongoing government shutdown and urged his conference to keep the heat on congressional Democrats during a private call with lawmakers on Saturday.

The call came on the fourth day of the shutdown, a day after Senate Democrats again rejected a GOP-led plan to keep federal agencies funded through Nov. 21.

During the call, Johnson and other House GOP leaders urged fellow Republicans to use this next week in their districts to tell constituents about what the ongoing shutdown means for them, Fox News Digital was told.

The House speaker expressed confidence that the shutdown would end quickly if Republicans ‘hold the line,’ Fox News Digital was told, and praised the House GOP’s unity so far amid the fallout.

Johnson also told Republicans toward the end of the call that the House would return only after Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government, a source said.

House and Senate GOP leaders have signaled that they will not budge from their current federal funding proposal, a short-term spending bill called a continuing resolution (CR) that would keep spending levels roughly flat for seven weeks.

That measure passed the House — largely along party lines — on Sept. 19. The House has since been out of session in a bid to put pressure on Senate Democrats to accept the plan.

It is also why Johnson opted on Friday to designate the next week as a district work period, canceling a previously planned legislative session from Tuesday through Friday.

Johnson told House Republicans on the Saturday call that it was the best way to prevent ‘Democrat disruptions,’ Fox News Digital was told. 

No Republicans voiced disagreement with the plan, Fox News Digital was told, signaling the GOP’s unity on the issue.

He told reporters during a press conference Friday morning that the House may not return until Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats agreed with Republicans’ bill.

‘We passed it, and it’s been rejected by the Senate,’ Johnson told reporters during a news conference. ‘So the House will come back into session and do its work as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government. That’s plain and simple.’

Democrats, who were infuriated by being sidelined in the federal funding negotiations, have been pushing for an extension of Obamacare subsidies enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those enhancements would expire by the end of 2025 without congressional action.

Democrats have also introduced a counter-proposal for a CR that would keep the government funded through Oct. 31 while reversing the GOP’s cuts to Medicaid made in their ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ (OBBB).

The counter-proposal would have also restored federal funding to NPR and PBS that was cut by the Trump administration earlier this year.

Republicans have panned that plan as a non-starter full of partisan demands, while pointing out that Democrats have voted for a ‘clean’ measure similar to the GOP proposal 13 times during former President Biden’s time in office.

On the Saturday call, House GOP leaders encouraged Republicans to emphasize that Democrats’ counter-proposal would restore funding for illegal immigrants receiving Medicaid dollars that was cut by the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill, Fox News Digital was told.

Democrats have accused Republicans of lying about that line of attack.

GOP leaders also emphasized on the call that military members are not paid during government shutdowns, urging Republicans to make that point in their districts, while also warning that federal flood insurance funding is also in danger of drying up.

Fox News Digital was also told that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., said the next important date in the shutdown fight would be Oct. 15, the date of servicemembers’ next paycheck — which they could miss if the shutdown is ongoing.

Senate Democrats have now rejected the GOP’s funding plan four times since Sept. 19. The Senate is expected to next vote on the bill again on Monday.

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced Israel has agreed to the ‘initial withdrawal line’ in Gaza, which the U.S. has shared with Hamas.

Pending Hamas confirmation, the agreement will trigger an immediate ceasefire and exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

‘After negotiations, Israel has agreed to the initial withdrawal line, which we have shown to, and shared with, Hamas. When Hamas confirms, the Ceasefire will be IMMEDIATELY effective, the Hostages and Prisoner Exchange will begin, and we will create the conditions for the next phase of withdrawal, which will bring us close to the end of this 3,000 YEAR CATASTROPHE,’ Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Saturday. ‘Thank you for your attention to this matter and, STAY TUNED!’

The announcement comes hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement Saturday morning noting they were ‘on the verge of a very great achievement.’

‘It is not yet final; we are working on it diligently, and I hope, with God’s help, that in the coming days, during the Sukkot holiday, I will be able to inform you about the return of all our hostages, both living and deceased, in one phase, while the IDF remains deep within the Strip and in the controlling areas within it,’ Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu claimed that after intense military and diplomatic pressure, Hamas was pressured into agreeing to Israel’s proposed plan — rejecting the fact that Hamas had previously been ready to release the Israeli hostages without a full withdrawal from Gaza.

In the first stage of the withdrawal plan, he said Hamas will release all Israeli hostages while the IDF redeploys but maintains control over key strategic areas deep inside the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu will send his negotiating team, headed by Minister Ron Dermer, to Egypt to finalize the technical details of the hostage release, which he expects to conclude within a few days. 

The prime minister emphasized that both Israel and the U.S. intend to prevent any stalling or delay tactics by Hamas. 

In the second stage of the plan, Netanyahu said Hamas will be disarmed and the Gaza strip demilitarized—either through diplomatic means under the Trump Plan or, if necessary, by military force. 

‘I also said this in Washington: Either it will be achieved the easy way, or it will be achieved the hard way—but it will be achieved,’ he said. 

‘Together, we pushed back our enemies’ plans of destruction. From Gaza to Rafah, from Beirut to Damascus, from Yemen to Tehran, together we have achieved great things,’ Netanyahu added. ‘From victory to victory—we are changing the face of the Middle East together. Together we will continue to act to ensure the eternity of Israel.’

Netanyahu thanked Trump for his assistance in dispatching the B2 planes to bomb the nuclear facility in Fordo, and for his ‘steadfast support.’
