Overview

• The Senate plans a vote today on a House-passed stopgap to Nov. 21, but it needs 60 votes after an earlier attempt failed and no bipartisan deal has emerged.
• The White House budget office told agencies to prepare reduction notices and possible layoffs, with most non-essential staff facing furloughs and many essential employees working without pay.
• Cyber defenses face strain as only 889 of 2,540 CISA employees would remain on duty during a lapse and the 2015 cyber information‑sharing law is set to expire tonight unless renewed.
• Airlines warn flights may slow because air traffic controllers and TSA officers would work unpaid, national parks and some museums could close, and USPS says it will operate normally.
• Markets edged lower and the Labor Department said some economic releases, including the monthly jobs report, would pause if funding lapses.
