The federal government shutdown began at midnight as President Trump and Democrats blamed each other for failing to reach an agreement.

Food assistance, health care costs, air travel, and military pay all face major strain if the shutdown extends beyond this week.

The government has now been shut down for over a week, and Congress still appears deadlocked on a funding plan. The Senate again failed to advance competing proposals from Democrats and Republicans to fund the government.

Federal officials said Wednesday, Nov. 5, that flight cuts are coming to major airports amid the funding crisis, which has now lasted for 37 days. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said there will be a 10% reduction in flights at 40 major airports at the end of the week.
