Government shutdown entering sixth day as Republicans and Democrats remain at an impasse

Shutdown halts many federal services as Democrats demand extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid rollback reversal, risking furloughs for 40% of federal workers, analysts say.

  • The federal government's partial shutdown is in its fifth day as of October 5, due to Congress's failure to reach a funding deal, affecting many operations.
  • President Donald Trump is urging Democrats to support the Republican funding bill to restore government functions, but it has failed to pass in the Senate multiple times.
  • Approximately 2 million federal workers are not receiving pay, and essential services, like the military and air traffic control, will continue to function during the shutdown.
  • The shutdown is currently the fifth longest in U.S. history, with many federal personnel required to work without pay.
