Gridlock Continues: Shutdown's Economic Costs Mount
Update: 2025-11-08
Description
As the government shutdown enters its third week, lawmakers remain deadlocked, with no end in sight. Despite new proposals and counterproposals, the Senate remains gridlocked, and each side quickly rejects the others efforts. The recent election results have added to the political challenges, with Democrats suggesting their wins were a message to continue fighting. President Trump shows no signs of making concessions and continues to call for changes to Senate filibuster rules. The ongoing gridlock is causing economic costs to mount, with US airlines canceling hundreds of flights and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warning of potential mass chaos. Experts believe the shutdown will likely end by Thanksgiving, with the practical pain experienced by many playing a role in reaching a resolution.
