00:10Essential services like air travel and national security are feeling the strain,
00:14with TSA officers and air traffic controllers on the job but without paychecks. In November,
00:20over 40 million Americans could lose access to food assistance if the shutdown continues.

00:28and veteran services are limited. At the center of the standoff, a deadlock between Democrats and
00:33President Trump over healthcare funding and spending priorities. The Senate is set to vote

00:44at odds, the shutdown's effects are spreading from Washington to communities nationwide.
