U.S. government shuts down as Trump and Congress fail to reach a funding deal

  • The U.S. government began a shutdown on Wednesday after President Trump and Congress failed to reach a funding agreement by midnight.
  • The shutdown followed repeated Senate votes failing to pass spending bills amid deep partisan divisions over health care subsidies and budget priorities.
  • Approximately 750,000 federal employees are furloughed, with essential services like Medicare, the Pentagon, and Homeland Security continuing to operate despite staffing shortages.
  • The Congressional Budget Office estimated the shutdown could cost $400 million daily in lost pay and warned economic fallout could ripple nationwide depending on shutdown length.
  • The shutdown underscores ongoing political deadlock, with no clear resolution in sight and significant impacts expected on government operations and workers' livelihoods.
