Partial Shutdown Looms as Congress Leaves
Congress bolts town without a funding deal, paving the way for a partial government shutdown affecting key operations. Senate Democrats block advancement of a DHS funding bill on a 52-47 vote, with only John Fetterman crossing the aisle to support it. Republicans, led by Majority Leader John Thune, blast Dems for refusing to negotiate, forcing a recess amid stalled talks.
