Senate again fails to pass bills aimed at funding government as blame game continues
- A partial U.S. government shutdown began at midnight on October 1, 2025, suspending non-essential federal services nationwide while essential services continued.
- The shutdown resulted from federal lawmakers' stalemate over appropriations for the new fiscal year, leaving many government functions unfunded.
- Defense Working Capital Fund activities, including military commissaries and exchanges, remain open until reserves deplete, but some base services like child care and housing offices face closures or delays.
- About half of 741,477 Department of Defense civilian employees face furloughs, active-duty troops must work without pay, and Oct. 15 paychecks depend on new funding agreements, prompting legislation to ensure military pay continuity.
- Essential services such as Veterans Affairs medical care, Social Security, mail delivery, and airport security continue uninterrupted, while education programs operate normally but may see payment delays if the shutdown persists.
