The U.S. government shutdown entered its second day on Thursday as Congress has yet to pass legislation to fund the government.

Republicans and Democrats blame each other for the funding gap, and there is little sign either side is willing to compromise.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government was thrown into a shutdown Wednesday with no easy endgame in sight, as Democrats held firm to their demands to salvage health care subsidies that President Donald Trump and Republican in Congress have dismissed as something to possibly discuss later.

The last time the government shut down — a more than 30-day lapse from December 2018 to January 2019 — air travelers faced “longer lines, delays, and canceled flights as security checkpoints were closed while some TSA agents and air traffic controllers began calling out of work while not getting paid,” said U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy ’s office.

The federal government shutdown hasn’t yet disrupted important services such as food assistance in Minnesota, but it could if it extends several weeks, state officials said Thursday.

One of the main lines of attack leveled by Republicans amid the government shutdown is that Democratic lawmakers want to give immigrants in the U.S. illegally free healthcare — which Democrats deny.

GOP congressman fears shutdown fallout has reached the military, pointing to concerns his office has fielded regarding troops being pulled from assignments prematurely.

U.S. courts have stopgap funding, underscoring their independence, but reserves will run dry by mid-October if lawmakers don't pass a budget.
