The U.S. faces a shutdown as Trump’s Medicaid cuts and ACA rollbacks collide with Democrats’ push to protect health care. The White House threatens mass federal layoffs, escalating beyond furloughs, while families brace for lost pay and shuttered services.
What will happen if there's a government shutdown at day's end
A lot of government would continue during a shutdown. FBI investigators, CIA officers, air traffic controllers and agents operating airport checkpoints would keep working.
