Live updates: The shutdown showdown »
The U.S. government has begun to shut down for the first time in nearly two decades, after the House and Senate negotiators failed to reach a spending deal Monday night. The impasse means 800,000 federal workers will be furloughed Tuesday. National parks, monuments and museums, as well as most federal offices, will close. Tens of thousands of air-traffic controllers, prison guards and Border Patrol agents will be required to serve without pay. Source Main page (current trends)
