Republicans, controlling the White House, House, and Senate, advanced a clean continuing resolution through mid-November, while Democrats insisted on including ACA extensions to avert premium increases for 20 million Americans. The shutdown has furloughed 800,000 federal workers, closed national parks, and delayed services like IRS refunds, marking the first such lapse since 2019.</blockquote>
