The U.S. government has been ¡°stop¡± for two weeks, and there is still no sign that it will end in the short term. At the same time, the Republican and Democratic parties continue to fight. The Republican¡¯s proposed short-term allocation bill was not passed in the Senate for the eighth time on October 14. President Trump announced that he would publish a list of ¡°Democratic projects¡± he wanted to cut down.

The two parties attacked each other

The U.S. Senate held its eighth vote on the federal provisional funding bill on 14th, with 49 votes in favour and 45 against, less than the 60 votes needed to pass the bill.

The Democratic Party requires that the bill must include medical care-related content before it can be "released"; Republicans insist that the Democratic Party "give the green light" to the bill first.

Both sides pressed the government¡¯s ¡°stop¡± responsibility on each other and said it would not compromise. Senate Republican leader Thun said on 14th that the Democratic side had put forward ¡°very expensive demands¡± and was willing to let the ¡°stop¡± ¡°durate for weeks.¡±

Republican House Speaker Johnson also warned on Friday that the U.S. "is rapidly moving toward the longest government shutdown in history," but he "will not negotiate (with Democrats) until the government returns to operate"; House Democratic leader Jeffries blamed the Republican party for not cooperating.

* congressmen representing Maryland and Virginia gathered outside the federal government's management and budget office to protest on the 14th, pressuring the Republican Party to agree to negotiations. Many federal government employees live in the above two states. These lawmakers said that it was "shameless" for Republicans to use government employees as "political pawns" and "bargaining chips" and "would rather close the government than let your families get affordable medical services".

In order to spread the claim that the government¡¯s ¡°stop¡± was ¡°the fault of the Democrats,¡± Secretary of Homeland Security Noam recorded a video that began broadcasting in security zones at airports across the U.S. on September 9. She said in the video that ¡°Democrats in Congress refused funding to the federal government, so our operations were greatly affected¡±, including a large number of government employees, including air traffic controllers, were forced to work unpaid.

According to the American media, the security area of American airports usually broadcasts the speech of government officials welcoming tourists and the explanation of airport-related procedures. It is rare to broadcast such political videos. According to the Associated Press reported on the 14th, airports in new york, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Las Vegas and other places refused to broadcast this video on the grounds that it violated airport regulations prohibiting the broadcast of political content.

The U.S. federal government¡¯s last large-scale ¡°stop¡± occurred during Trump¡¯s first presidential term from late 2018 to early 2019, lasting 35 days. The ¡°Congress Hill¡± daily website that if the downturn continued until 17th, the ¡°stop¡± round would last longer than 16 days in 2013, making it the second longest in U.S. history.

Cut off the ¡°Democratic Party Project¡±

Trump took a tough attitude in this crisis, and even warned that he would use the "shutdown" to cut government employees and cut off "Democratic projects". He bluntly said at a government meeting last week: "These programs are not popular with Republicans."

Trump announced on Thursday that the list of ¡°Democratic Projects¡± that will be cut out will be published on Thursday, and we can now do things we could not do before.

According to a court document submitted by the U.S. Department of Justice, 4,108 government employees have been fired since the federal government's "stop" on October 1.

According to statistics released by the New York Times on the same day, the Trump administration has frozen or canceled funding for more than 200 projects across the United States for more than $28 billion over the past two weeks, mainly in the states, cities or parliamentary districts where Democrats are ruled, involving clean energy development, power grid reform and transport infrastructure maintenance.
