Senate spurns GOP spending bill for 14th time, ensuring longest shutdown in history

Shutdown affects millions including 42 million SNAP recipients and federal employees amid stalled Senate votes and a dispute over expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.

  • On Tuesday, the U.S. federal government shutdown — which began Oct. 1 — reached a point that will break the longest-ever record after midnight.
  • A split Senate has been unable to advance funding due to a filibuster and deadlock over Affordable Care Act subsidies, with Democrats refusing measures that omit those extensions.
  • With SNAP funding interrupted, 42 million Americans including 16 million children lose food assistance, while nearly 600 Transportation Security Administration employees at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport face hardship.
  • Senators from both parties seek to reopen government and address expiring health-insurance subsidies, while leadership has outsourced talks to centrist dealmakers and Senate Majority Leader John Thune pledged Democrats a vote on their preferred proposal.
  • Federal Reserve officials warn the shutdown disrupts key economic data, complicating decisions, while expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies risk spiking premiums and lawmakers push guardrails against the Trump administration's unilateral fund cuts.
