Federal Government Has Entered a Shutdown

By Greg Halbleib Oct 1, 2025 | 5:15 AM

Federal government programs and services shut down at midnight after Congress and President Trump failed to produce a funding agreement.

About 750,000 federal workers are expected to be furloughed, some potentially fired.

Democrats are demanding funding for health care subsidies that are expiring under the Affordable Care Act. Majority Republicans say they will discuss health care but not as part of budget talks.
