Effort to pay at least some federal workers fails in Senate

A sign on the entrance to the U.S. National Arboretum is seen as it is closed due to the federal government shut down on October 01, 2025 in Washington, DC.

The Senate failed to advance two partisan bills that would have paid some federal workers during the shutdown. Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked as the shutdown drags on.
