US Government Shutdown Extends, Layoffs Loom
US federal government shutdown continues into next week as Senate fails for a fourth time to pass spending proposals. Both Democratic and Republican proposals fell short of the 60-vote threshold, with healthcare remaining a key point of contention. The White House warned of "mass lay-offs" for essential services if the stalemate persists, and has begun suspending federal infrastructure funding in several cities and states. Blame is being traded between parties as economic consequences mount.
