Federal government shutdown enters day two with no resolution in sight

The federal government shutdown has entered its second day, with Democrats and Republicans unable to reach an agreement by the October 1 deadline. President Trump is considering which Democrat-led agencies to cut, potentially affecting thousands of government employees, while tensions rise as both parties blame each other. The shutdown impacts everyday Americans, with military families and furloughed workers expressing frustration and anxiety. Controversially, the Trump administration has accused Democrats on government websites, intensifying the standoff, as legal questions arise over the potential firing of federal employees during the shutdown.
