With federal funding set to expire, the White House has warned of a government shutdown unless a stopgap measure is passed by tonight.
The US Senate failed to pass a Republican-backed funding bill, triggering a warning from the White House about an impending government shutdown. The Office of Management and Budget has directed federal agencies to prepare for an orderly shutdown, as current funding expires tonight at 11:59 PM. The shutdown's duration remains uncertain due to ongoing partisan disagreements.
