"Here we go again. At midnight, the U.S. government will run out of funding and be forced to shut down unless Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans can pull off a deal with Democrats. Despite some very high stakes for both parties and the country, the odds of that happening don't look good.

"At midnight, the U.S. government will run out of funding and be forced to shut down unless Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans can pull off a deal with Democrats."
Federal funding will expire at midnight, threatening a government shutdown that would halt nonessential federal operations and disrupt services. A funding agreement requires cooperation among Donald Trump, Congressional Republicans, and Democrats to pass a continuing resolution or appropriations legislation. Political consequences are significant for both parties and could affect government functions, economic confidence, and public perception. Current assessments indicate slim chances of a timely deal, increasing the likelihood of a shutdown. Officials and observers are monitoring negotiations and preparing contingency plans as the deadline approaches.
