US Government Shutdown Incoming?

[ftan42]

A partial US government shutdown has begun, effective October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass the necessary funding bills by the deadline. This marks the first shutdown in nearly seven years, resulting from a stalemate over funding for the new fiscal year. The impasse arose from a disagreement between Senate Republicans and Democrats, who were at odds over the inclusion of policy attachments in the funding bill, with Democrats seeking a commitment to address expiring health care subsidies and Republicans pushing for a "clean" funding measure without any attachments.

The United States government shut down early Wednesday morning, setting the stage for the furlough of hundreds of thousands of federal workers and the shuttering of a slew of key programs and services.

Here’s what to know:

• The full shutdown began after top Democrats and Republicans, including President Donald Trump, failed to agree on a short-term deal to keep the government funded.
• Democrats, led by Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, demand that any stopgap funding measure include an extension of enhanced Obamacare tax credits.
• Trump suggested Tuesday that his administration could take major actions during a shutdown, including cutting government benefits for “large numbers of people.”
• The Senate adjourned after last-ditch votes on Republican and Democratic funding proposals both failed to pass.
