Legislative activities stalled as shutdown reaches 22 days
1.
The United States government shutdown has reached its 22nd day, resulting in federal workers going unpaid and the closure of various agencies and museums. Congressional activities have significantly decreased during this period, with no votes being held in the House of Representatives since September 19. The situation has prompted some congressional staff to refer to themselves as volunteers due to the work stoppage.
