Government Shutdown Impacts Congress' Agenda
The government shutdown, now in its third week, continues to disrupt Congress' schedule, with canceled hearings and stalled work on key issues like appropriations and permitting reform.
Lawmakers have yet to reach a funding deal, and other priorities, including energy and environmental issues, are being neglected. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) plans to keep the House out of session for the week, unless a breakthrough occurs.
The Senate will resume on Tuesday with votes on failed funding bills, but no other items are on the agenda. The impasse has led to canceled or postponed hearings and markups, making it harder for congressional action on spending bills, permitting reform, and farm policy.

Speaker Johnson accused Democrats of prolonging the shutdown, as the stalemate persists. Author's summary: Shutdown disrupts Congress.
