The U.S. Government will officially shutdown for the first time since 2019 tonight, October 1, at 12:01am EDT, after the Senate today failed to pass a funding bill or stop-gap to keep the government open, adjoining until 10:00am on Wednesday. Both the White House and Republicans are blaming Democrats, while Democrats blame Republicans for their refusal to negotiate on major topics, including healthcare costs for millions of Americans.

As the shutdown looms, the Trump Administration and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) have stated that they will use the shutdown to rapidly increase the removal of tens to hundreds of thousands of government employees, furthering the ongoing “brain drain” as more than 150,000 workers are already due to leave federal payrolls this week after taking a buyout, the biggest exodus of federal workers since the end of WWll.
