Government Shutdown Impact on Congress
The government shutdown has entered its third week, and lawmakers are no closer to a funding deal. As a result, hearings and markups have been canceled, and work on appropriations and permitting reform has stalled.
Congress' priorities, including energy and environmental issues, are being neglected due to the impasse.
"We're not in a good mood here in the Capitol,"said Speaker Mike Johnson, accusing Democrats of prolonging the shutdown.
The House is expected to remain out of session all week, while the Senate will return on Tuesday to vote on failed funding bills. The shutdown has hindered congressional action on spending bills, permitting reform, and other bipartisan issues.
