Government Shutdown

Senate leaders have reached an agreement to reopen the government.

His administration will mark 100 days in office on April 29 — the same day government could shut down without a budget deal.

Congress is moving closer to avoiding a government shutdown with a new $1.1 trillion spending measure.

Civilian furloughs and interruptions in certain services on Fort Hood are set to begin Tuesday after Congressional leaders failed to reach a budget deal before the beginning of the new fiscal year.

As of 12:01 a.m. EST on Tuesday, the federal government closed down. Congressional leaders in the House of Representatives and the Senate were unable to reach an agreement on a budget or a temporary fix, known as a continuing resolution, before the start of the new fiscal year on October 1.
