US History's Longest Shutdown Enters 37th Day as Negotiations Stagnate and Morale Falters
The 36-day federal shutdown is now the longest in U.S. history, with a GOP-controlled Congress leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers unpaid despite efforts to end the impasse. The shutdown's duration is reaching its limit as negotiations continue.
The US is experiencing its longest federal shutdown in history at 36 days, with no end in sight as a stalemate between Democrats and Republicans over funding for government agencies continues to drag on. The prolonged standoff has left hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay and millions more affected by the impact of their furloughed colleagues. A possible solution to break the impasse appears elusive, raising concerns about the resilience of key government services. With no clear resolution in sight, the shutdown is putting pressure on lawmakers to find a compromise before further damage is done.
