We\u2019re trying to keep as much open as possible.

But nearly a month into the shutdown, it hasn\u2019t worked. Just before Vance\u2019s visit, a Senate vote on legislation to reopen the government failed for the 13th time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Federal employee union calls for end to shutdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strain is building on Democratic lawmakers to end the impasse. That was magnified by the nation\u2019s largest federal employee union, which on Monday called on Congress to immediately pass a funding bill and ensure workers receive full pay. Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said the two political parties have made their point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship,\u201d said Kelley, whose union carries considerable political weight with Democratic lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, Democratic senators, including those representing states with many federal workers, did not appear ready to back down. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said he was insisting on commitments from the White House to prevent the administration from mass firing more workers. Democrats also want Congress to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-aca-obamacare-subsidies-congress-trump-da06fcbc940e661234fac2ea9ee717a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-aca-obamacare-subsidies-congress-trump-da06fcbc940e661234fac2ea9ee717a0\">extend subsidies for health plans<\/a> under the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get a deal with Donald Trump,\u201d Kaine said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But shutdowns grow more painful the longer they go. Soon, with closures lasting a fourth full week as of Tuesday, millions of Americans are likely to experience the difficulties firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis week, more than any other week, the consequences become impossible to ignore,\u201d said Rep. Lisa McClain, chair of the House Republican Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will Trump administration reconfigure funds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nation\u2019s 1.3 million active duty service members were at risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-military-payroll-anonymous-donation-trump-e327c306292043755d9d700731039e83\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/government-shutdown-military-payroll-anonymous-donation-trump-e327c306292043755d9d700731039e83\">missing a paycheck<\/a> on Friday. Earlier this month, the Trump administration ensured they were paid by shifting $8 billion from military research and development funds to make payroll. Vance did not say Tuesday how the Department of Defense will cover troop pay this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Larger still, the Trump administration says funding will run out Friday for the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/food-aid-government-shutdown-snap-trump-democrats-8a52a63b26a707ea676962226b090bb1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/food-aid-government-shutdown-snap-trump-democrats-8a52a63b26a707ea676962226b090bb1\">food assistance program<\/a> that is relied upon by 42 million Americans to supplement their grocery bills. The administration has rejected the use of more than $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits flowing into November. And it says states won\u2019t be reimbursed if they temporarily cover the cost of benefits next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vance said that reconfiguring funds for those programs was like \u201ctrying to fit a square peg into a round hole with the budget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Agriculture Department says the contingency fund is intended to help respond to emergencies such as natural disasters. Democrats say the decision concerning the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, goes against the department\u2019s previous guidance concerning its operations during a shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said the administration made an intentional choice not to the fund SNAP in November, calling it an \u201cact of cruelty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another program endangered by the shutdown is Head Start, with more than 130 <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/head-start-government-shutdown-education-10b7ea5cfcc2ae10c37533a09a1d1d0f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/head-start-government-shutdown-education-10b7ea5cfcc2ae10c37533a09a1d1d0f\">preschool programs<\/a> not getting federal grants on Saturday if the shutdown continues, according to the National Head Start Association. All told, more than 65,000 seats at Head Start programs across the country could be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will lawmakers find a solution?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Capitol, congressional leaders mostly highlighted the challenges many Americans are facing as a result of the shutdown. But there was no movement toward negotiations as they attempted to lay blame on the other side of the political aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow government workers and every other American affected by this shutdown have become nothing more than pawns in the Democrats\u2019 political games,\u201d said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House passed a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/house-trump-funding-bill-republicans-shutdown-1fea0f79c85ec69b91d9789fbda00834\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/house-trump-funding-bill-republicans-shutdown-1fea0f79c85ec69b91d9789fbda00834\">short-term continuing resolution<\/a> on Sept. 19 to keep federal agencies funded. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has kept the House out of legislative session ever since, saying the solution is for Democrats to simply accept that bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Senate has consistently fallen short of the 60 votes needed to advance that spending measure. Democrats insist that any bill to fund the government also address health care costs, namely the soaring health insurance premiums that millions of Americans will face next year under plans offered through the Affordable Care Act marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Window-shopping for health plans delayed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about his strategy for ending the shutdown, Schumer said that millions of Americans will begin seeing on Saturday how much their health insurance is going up next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPeople in more than 30 states are going to be aghast, aghast when they see their bills,\u201d Schumer said. \u201cAnd they are going to cry out, and I believe there will be increased pressure on Republicans to negotiate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The window for enrolling in ACA health plans begins Saturday. In past years, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has allowed Americans to preview their health coverage options about a week before open enrollment. But, as of Tuesday, Healthcare.gov appeared to show 2025 health insurance plans and estimated prices, instead of next year\u2019s options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans insist they will not entertain negotiations on health care until the government reopens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m particularly worried about premiums going up for working families,\u201d said Sen. David McCormick, R-Pa. \u201cSo we\u2019re going to have that conversation, but we\u2019re not going to have it until the government opens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
