From Global News.

The United States government remains shut down for a second day. This comes after a series of Hail Mary attempts in the U.S. Senate to avoid this failed late Tuesday night.

The White House threatened mass layoffs of federal workers, rather than simply the normal furloughs, in a matter of days, seizing the chance to slash government. Blame was being cast on all sides. No new talks were scheduled after the president failed this week to secure a deal with congressional leaders.

It’s the second shutdown since 2018 and the path forward is unclear.

Joining us now to break this down for us is John Mark Hansen, a political science professor with the University of Chicago.
