US Government Shutdown Continues

The U.S. government shutdown, which began over a budget dispute, has entered its 26th day, severely impacting federal operations. President Trump blames Democrats for the deadlock over border wall funding. Key services are disrupted, with unpaid TSA officers and air traffic controllers causing airport delays. Millions face risks as essential services falter, and the largest federal workers' union demands an immediate resolution. Federal employees have missed their first paycheck, exacerbating the crisis, as the nation grapples with the prolonged shutdown's worsening effects.
