Shutdown Could Become Longest as Trump Says He 'Won't Be Extorted' by Democrats
Shutdown now on day 33 threatens to surpass 2019 record, delaying pay for hundreds of thousands and cutting November SNAP benefits by half, lawmakers say.
- The shutdown, now in its 33rd day, is poised to become the longest in U.S. history as a small bipartisan group of senators continues talks in Washington, D.C.
- The stalemate centers on expiring health care subsidies and vote counts, as Democrats demand President Donald Trump and Republicans negotiate tax credits while Republicans need five Democrats to pass their bill.
- Following court rulings, the Trump administration will partially fund SNAP using a $4.65 billion emergency fund after the Department of Agriculture planned to withhold $8 billion.
- Hundreds of thousands of civilian federal workers are missing paychecks, forcing many to turn to local food banks, while flight delays worsen due to air traffic controllers and TSA agents shortages.
- With time running out on the House stopgap, Sen. Susan Collins prefers a Dec. 19 deadline while Sen. Rick Scott backs Jan. 15, highlighting GOP divisions, as Thune plans a vote Tuesday.
