Nearly three weeks in, Republican and Democratic lawmakers remain at a stalemate on finding a government funding solution.The Senate returns on Monday, and is expected to vote for the 11th time to try to advance bill that would reopen the government until Nov.

The government shutdown began at midnight on Oct. 1 as Democrats and Republicans appeared to be nowhere close to reaching a funding deal.

Since the shutdown began, multiple airports have experienced delays and flight cancellations because of staff shortages among air traffic controllers. Between 6 and 10 a.m. Monday, 516 flights had been delayed and five were canceled, according to the FlightAware.com Misery Map.

There also was no sign that Johnson was intending to call the House back into session to vote this week, something the House has not done since Sept. 19. In fact, since July 4, the House has conducted just 20 days of business in 16 weeks.

As the federal government shutdown drags on, House Speaker Mike Johnson does not appear motivated to use his uniquely powerful position to resolve the crisis. Nor does he seem inclined to swear in Rep.

The Speaker of the House clashed with CNN's Kaitlin Collins hours before the government shutdown went into effect.

The government shutdown is now the third-longest funding lapse in modern history, and the Senate won't meet until Monday.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Monday for not ‘doing their jobs’ during the government shutdown while they attended “No Kings” rallies last weekend.
