Partial US Shutdown Persists Until Monday

A last‑minute funding deal has averted a full US government shutdown, but only a partial closure remains in place. Federal agencies are still operating at reduced capacity while lawmakers scramble to finalise the agreement. The House won’t be able to vote on the measure until Monday, meaning the partial shutdown could linger over the weekend. Officials warn that essential services like passport processing and national parks may see delays, and employees risk missing paychecks until funding is fully restored.

If you rely on federal services, expect possible delays and pay disruptions until the House votes.

The lingering shutdown means everyday Americans could experience slower government services and financial hiccups, while businesses watch for any ripple effects on contracts and permits, underscoring the cost of political gridlock.
