“That’s a nonstarter," Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. “The Obamacare extension is the negotiation. That’s what we’re going to negotiate once the government opens up. But you know, a one year extension along the lines of what they’re suggesting… that doesn’t get close.”

D.C. during the government shutdown feels different: quieter, slower, almost paused. Streets near federal buildings are unusually empty, and the usual rhythm of the city has softened. For many government employees, this means being furloughed or working without pay. From national parks to public services, the ripple effects go beyond politics and touch everyday lives.
