The US federal government shut down on 1 Oct 2025 due to political disagreements. Democrats blocked a funding bill needed to keep the government running. This shutdown affects many services like national parks, housing help, and some social benefits. Essential services such as emergency medical care, law enforcement, and border security continue but may face delays. The shutdown happened because Democrats and Republicans could not agree on budget issues. This political divide is the main reason for the shutdown. (Updated 1 Oct 2025, 17:40 IST; source: link)
