Federal employees and low-income households have been particularly affected by ‘partisan standoffs’ in Washington

Bipartisan talks between rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans have been picking up, while House Speaker Mike Johnson endorsed a plan to fund the government into January.

The U.S. has seen more than 20 government shutdowns in the last 50 years. The current one is now the longest. Here are the shutdowns it surpassed.

La., would halt lawmakers from being paid for each day the shutdown continues, while also sidestepping the constitutional requirement that members of Congress receive a paycheck.

As the shutdown enters day 36, it becomes the longest in U.S. history. Here's where Americans stand on Trump's job performance.

The Senate failed for the 14th time to advance House-passed legislation to reopen the government on the day the shutdown tied the longest in history. The 54-44 vote fell short of 60 votes needed under Senate rules to advance the bill that would have provided short-term funding through Nov. 21.

The U.S. government shutdown on Tuesday entered its 35th day, matching a record set during President Donald Trump's first term for the longest in history, as Republicans and Democrats in Congress continue to blame each other for the standoff.
