Is there any progress toward resolving the shutdown?

Asked 2 hours ago

Answer

There is currently no significant progress toward resolving the government shutdown. Both the Senate and House have failed to pass funding bills, and lawmakers have left Washington with negotiations at a standstill. The Senate is set to meet again next week for another potential vote, but both sides remain entrenched, showing little urgency or willingness to compromise.
