Government Shutdown Crisis Looms in the US – Here’s What You Need to Know and the Latest Updates

The US federal government is at risk of shutting down on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, if Congress fails to approve a new budget. In the ongoing budget negotiations between the parties, Republicans have proposed extending current spending levels until November 21, while Democrats have offered a proposal that would impose additional health care regulations and limits on President Donald Trump's ability to block funding. However, these conditions are unacceptable to Republicans. The intransigence between the two sides increases the likelihood of a shutdown. Congressional leaders will reportedly meet with Trump at the White House on Monday to seek a solution.

The Antideficiency Act, in effect with various updates since 1870, requires agencies to cease operations if funding is not provided. However, services intended to protect life and property, national security, and functions directly related to the constitutional process are excluded from this scope.
