The United States government has officially shut down as Congress and the White House failed to reach a funding deal. More than 750,000 federal workers now face furloughs or unpaid work, while critical services — from air travel to scientific research — grind to a halt. The September jobs report is delayed, markets are shaken, and Wall Street fears a prolonged standoff.
At the heart of the battle is $1.7 trillion in agency funding and a fierce fight over healthcare benefits for millions of Americans. Democrats accuse Trump and Republicans of political bullying, while the White House warns the shutdown could be used to permanently slash government jobs and programs.
Could this crisis rival the 35-day shutdown from Trump’s first term? With healthcare, debt, and power on the line, America faces one of its most dangerous political standoffs yet.
