Stalled negotiations in U.S. Congress threaten government shutdown on October 1—understand the impacts for Oklahoma and the nation.

Lawmakers have until Oct. 1 to pass a new budget. If they don't, the federal government will shut down. Here's what that looks like.

The Liquor Control Commission, the state’s liquor wholesaler, would no longer accept retail orders. Alcohol already purchased and in warehouses would be gone after five business days. A one-month shutdown in 2019 would have cost the state $41.5 million in liquor revenue.

Democrats could lose some of their own members on the GOP bill. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has already vowed to support it, and several other Democratic senators have yet to put themselves in the “no” column with the whip effort still underway.

The longer it takes for a finance resolution to be passed, the stronger the likelihood of a shutdown, experts say.

Republicans and Democrats are still far apart on how to avert a government shutdown just three weeks before funding runs out.

After scheduling a meeting with Democratic leaders in the hopes of preventing a shutdown, the president changed his mind for reasons that were bonkers.
