Shutdown Standoff Threatens Holiday Travel and Essential Services | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Republican and Democratic lawmakers remain deadlocked over a government funding plan, extending what has become the second-longest shutdown in U.S. history into its 27th day. The standoff has left military and government workers’ pay, as well as food assistance programs, in limbo, with millions of Americans feeling the strain. Union leaders representing hundreds of thousands of federal workers are calling on Congress to act. Meanwhile, with the holiday travel season fast approaching, Speaker Johnson says if the shutdown continues, we could see significant delays and even safety issues.
