The IRS implements contingency plans during the government shutdown, suspending taxpayer services while maintaining tax processing and criminal investigations.

We’d like to hear from you about how you’re experiencing the government shutdown, whether you’re a federal employee who can’t work right now or someone who is

The stalemate over how to end the government shutdown is stretching into another week without a clear resolution in sight, as both parties trade blame for the funding lapse. Two dueling measures to fund the government and end the shutdown failed in the Senate for a fifth time Monday.

Air traffic controller shortages caused over 2,000 flight delays Wednesday, with 53% of recent delays attributed to understaffing compared to the normal 5%, officials say.

Government shutdowns have become more frequent as political brinkmanship defines budget negotiations, with the latest federal shutdown starting Wednesday morning.

The federal government shutdown has entered its second week, and already shortages of air traffic controllers have strained operations and disrupted flights at some U.S. airports.

It's been a week into the federal government shutdown, and flight delays and cancellations are starting to climb nationwide.

President Donald Trump is considering not giving back pay to all federal employees once the government shutdown ends, suggesting it could depend on the worker in the GOP’s latest attempt to force Democrats to concede in the ongoing funding battle.

As the government shutdown enters a second week, there’s no discernible endgame in sight. “You have to negotiate,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont, argued late into the evening on the Senate floor. “That’s the way it works.” But no negotiations, at least publicly, are underway.

Democrats say that's even more reason to extend the subsidies. If they expire, the Congressional Budget Office estimates 2 million people will drop insurance due to cost, leading to more uncompensated care that providers will likely pass on to those with insurance -- driving up costs further.
