Shutdown Pain Spreads at One Month

“The US government shutdown becomes painfully real for tens of millions Americans this weekend as it hit the one-month mark with food aid disrupted, cuts to child care kicking in, and health insurance premiums spiking,” Bloomberg reports.

“The shutdown is expected to break the 35-day record set in President Donald Trump’s first term next week, after the Senate left town Thursday for a long weekend. The House hasn’t been in session since Sept. 19.”
