Overview

  • Senators failed for a seventh time to clear the House-passed stopgap in a 54-45 vote, leaving the next effort to end the shutdown set for Tuesday evening.
  • Democrats are withholding the votes needed to reopen the government unless enhanced Affordable Care Act premium subsidies are extended, which Republican leaders say they will discuss only after funding is restored.
  • It now appears likely that service members will miss next week’s paychecks, and Speaker Mike Johnson has told Republicans he will not bring up a standalone military pay bill, CNN reported.
  • Some GOP senators say President Trump’s comments about being open to a health care deal undercut their leverage, even as the White House insists negotiations will occur only after the government reopens.
  • Appropriators from both parties warn the shutdown is slowing FY2026 spending work and will likely necessitate another continuing resolution, as tensions flare and the House remains out of session.
