Congress Fails to Act, Federal Shutdown Risk Grows

With the fiscal year ending September 30, lawmakers remain deadlocked on a short-term spending measure, raising a real risk of a U.S. government shutdown. The White House has asked agencies to prepare mass layoff plans if federal funding runs out. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned that failure to pass stopgap funding would have severe economic and social consequences. Many expect political brinkmanship to intensify as leaders trade blame. Agencies say critical services could face disruption within days if Congress doesn’t act. The standoff forces the spotlight onto midterm dynamics and each party’s willingness to compromise in crisis mode.
