Congress has made virtually no progress toward a deal to reopen the government as the standoff drags into its fourth week.

A potential government shutdown looms as funding disputes intensify, threatening federal services, employee pay, and healthcare subsidies.

The Senate on Monday voted against reopening the federal government for the 11th time, pushing the shutdown to the three-week mark with both sides at loggerheads and unable to break the impasse.

The government shutdown is now the third-longest funding lapse in modern history, and the Senate won't meet until Monday.

A potential government shutdown could be just hours away as Democrats and Republicans wrangle with how to fund the government.

In talk show appearances ahead of a sit-down with Trump to hash out the looming government shutdown, both sides continued digging in their heels.

Republicans and Democrats blame each other for the funding gap, and there is little sign either side is willing to compromise.

U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) on Wednesday joined Fox Business’s The Claman Countdown with Liz Claman to discuss the ongoing federal government shutdown, placing the blame squarely on Senate Democrats for obstructing efforts to reopen the government and stressing the impact on military families’ paychecks.

Funding for the government runs out on Sept. 30, and former President Donald Trump is urging Republicans to force a shutdown unless demands are met.

Congress is no closer to reopening the government as the House of Representatives has now been out of session for more than a month.
