The U.S. Senate once again rejected successive stopgap funding bills proposed by both parties on the 3rd, and the government shutdown will continue into next week.

BlockBeats News, October 4th: The U.S. government shutdown is entering its second week. U.S. senators on Friday local time once again successively rejected temporary funding bills proposed by both parties, denying the opportunity to reopen various agencies. Currently, Congress is adjourned until Monday, when leadership is expected to forcefully conduct a fifth round of voting on the proposal to extend government funding until November 21st, which was passed by the House.

The current deadlock and the impact of the shutdown continue to escalate: The White House has been increasing pressure on the Democratic Party and is expected to soon announce government layoffs, while freezing billions of dollars in project funding for blue states. Since Wednesday morning when federal funding ran out, hundreds of thousands of federal employees have been forced to take leave, and non-essential services have been suspended.

However, so far, Congress leadership and the White House are still in a state of cold war, with no sign that if the two sides rely solely on negotiations, they will be able to find a way to reopen the government in the short term. (FX168)
