"The effects of the spending cuts are deepening at airports, while Trump says he will only pay half the food stamp money after two federal judges ordered the administration to do so The Washington Monument, without visitors due to the government shutdown, this Tuesday.AARON SCHWARTZ (EFE) As fate would have it, the current U.S. government shutdown shattered its historical record this Tuesday at around 9:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), when the polling stations closed in New York City,"
"It lasted 35 days, beginning on December 22, 2018, due to a dispute over funding for the wall Trump wanted to build on the border with Mexico, and it was resolved around 9:00 p.m. on January 25, 2019. So it was the same president but, unlike this time, that Congress was in recess while it was being renewed to reflect the election results of the 2018 midterm elections,"
Spending cuts are deepening operational impacts at airports and other federal locations. Donald Trump said he will pay only half of food-stamp funds after two federal judges ordered full payments. The Washington Monument had no visitors during the shutdown. The current shutdown became the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the previous 35-day record from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019, which stemmed from a border wall funding dispute. The Senate has held multiple votes—14 in total—to try to reopen the government, with each producing similar results. House Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned the House before the October 1 shutdown for political reasons.
