Republicans, Democrats Continue Their Blame Game as Shutdown Grinds On
The shutdown, caused by disputes over Affordable Care Act subsidies, has furloughed 900,000 federal workers and is tied for the fourth-longest in U.S. history, officials said.
- The shutdown has entered its third week after the United States government closed around October 8, 2025, with leaders warning it could become the longest in history.
- The impasse stems from disputes over expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, as Democratic senators refuse to back the bill and the Republican Senate majority 53-47 blocks the 60-vote Senate filibuster threshold.
- Amid missed paychecks, the American Federation of Government Employees called on Congress to pass a clean CR, as 730,000 federal workers work without pay and 670,000 furloughed.
- Senate vote counts show a narrow path forward as Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto, D-Nev., and Independent Angus King, Maine, have voted for the bill, leaving five additional Democratic votes needed, which President Donald Trump said is `All we need is five Democrats`.
- A looming federal shutdown delay could pressure negotiations with Nov. 1 open enrollment, affecting around 40 million Americans' nutrition benefits, amid a market probability of over 50% it lasts through November 16.
