Bipartisan talks between rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans have been picking up, while House Speaker Mike Johnson endorsed a plan to fund the government into January.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown.

As the government shutdown stretches its way into the record books, Americans are feeling its worsening impacts.

Secretary Sean Duffy issued the warning amid a growing number of flight delays at airports across the country.

The ongoing government shutdown made U.S. history Tuesday evening, as it entered its 35th day. The Senate failed to pass a funding measure for the 14th time.

For 35 days, most federal workers have gone without pay as money dries up across critical agencies. Even if the shutdown ends, it's unlikely funding would return in time for Hoosiers to receive full SNAP benefits by Nov.

Rep. Brad Knott, R-N.C., led a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Wednesday, sounding the alarm on the increasingly dire situation for people responsible for keeping Americans safe and warning of its impact across the country.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government shutdown has entered its 36th day, breaking the record as the longest ever and disrupting the lives of millions of Americans with federal program cuts, flight delays and federal workers nationwide left without paychecks.
