10 things to know about the government shutdown

Published



A partial government shutdown took effect at midnight after lawmakers on Friday failed to reach a deal to keep several key agencies funded. The shutdown was over President Trump’s demand for funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Any hope of a solution fizzled at about 8:30 p.m. Friday, when both the House and the Senate had adjourned with no solution in sight. Lawmakers are slated to return to Capitol Hill around noon Saturday to resume talks.
