Part 1/13:
Ongoing Government Shutdown and Political Turmoil
The United States is currently in the 16th day of a government shutdown, with no immediate resolution in sight. The Senate has made nine unsuccessful attempts to pass a GOP-backed "clean" continuing resolution, designed to keep the government operational without additional conditions. Democrats are reportedly prepared to reject this measure once again, planning to vote against it for the tenth time. The stark division underscores the deep partisan impasse that has left many federal services halted and public frustration mounting.
