🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Government Partially SHUT DOWN For Now! 🇺🇸 🚨

Yep it’s official. The U.S. federal government has slipped into a partial shutdown after Congress missed a budget deadline over the weekend. Some parts of the government are already in shutdown mode, and lawmakers won’t be back in session until Monday to try to fix it. �

🧠 Here’s what’s really going on:

📍 Not everything is closed This isn’t a total shut-down like you might picture. Most agencies already had funding from deals earlier, and many services continue. �

📍 But some major departments are affected — Defense, Labor, Health, Transportation & others could see partial closures or slowdowns until Congress passes the budget. �

📍 Federal workers? Some may be put on unpaid leave or work without pay if things stay unresolved. �

📍 Why now? Lawmakers passed a big spending package in the Senate but not everyone is on board, especially over immigration funding and Homeland Security. Because the House wasn’t back in session in time, the shutdown kicked in over the weekend. �

Things like park visits, visa appointments, agency operations, and federal contracts could be paused or delayed. Even if it only lasts until Monday, that’s still extra uncertainty for workers, businesses, and financial markets. �

👀 What happens next:

Congress returns Monday and could approve the funding bill meaning the shutdown would end almost immediately. But if negotiations break down again, this could drag out longer than expected. �
