Trump Launches US Government Into Shutdown After Republicans And Democrats Fail To Come To An Agreement To Keep Federal Government Functioning

October 1, 2025 admin News 0

Plunged into a government shutdown, the U.S. is confronting a fresh cycle of uncertainty after President Donald Trump and Congress failed to strike an agreement to keep government programs and services running by Wednesday’s deadline.

The signs are all around you, constant and repetitive flashbacks to the ramp up to WWII on display in 2025 in the form of economic turmoil, widespread government uncertainty, and a ever-strengthening prelude to war. You’d have to work pretty hard to not see it, and yet, I hear from people every day who think everything is fine, and Donald Trump is playing 4D chess. Maybe he is, but you won’t like the outcome of this game and that’s the memo.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

Maybe you don’t see it, can’t see it or won’t see it, but it’s staring at you right in the face. Let me explain what I mean. Out of the White House comes and endless messaging stream telling us that we are in a ‘Golden Age’ of prosperity, right? Yet look around you, where is it? Gas prices remain high, food remains expensive, insurance costs for home, health and auto across the board are skyrocketing, jobs are not increasing. I come in contact with a lot of people around the country on a daily basis, and so far, not one person has told me they are experiencing a golden age of prosperity. Why is that? Because we are being lied to, about everything, all day and every day. What is coming is war, and plenty of it. Yesterday, Donald Trump said that war was coming to America’s cities, and to get ready for boots on the ground. Trump said our cities will now be used for a ‘training ground’ for American troops. If Obama or Biden would have said that, you’d be joining a militia to revolt against the government, yet when Trump does it, you applaud him. But there is one positive in all this, you’ve forgotten all about the Epstein Files.

Government shutdown begins as nation faces new period of uncertainty

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Roughly 750,000 federal workers are expected to be furloughed, some potentially fired by Trump’s Republican administration. Many offices will be shuttered, perhaps permanently, as Trump vows to “do things that are irreversible, that are bad” as retribution. His deportation agenda is expected to run full speed ahead, while education, environmental and other services sputter. The economic fallout is expected to ripple nationwide.

“We don’t want it to shut down,” Trump said at the White House before the midnight deadline.

But the president, who met privately with congressional leadership this week, appeared unable to negotiate any deal between Democrats and Republicans to prevent that outcome. This is the third time Trump has presided over a federal funding lapse, the first since his return to the White House this year, in a remarkable record that underscores the polarizing divide over budget priorities and a political climate that rewards hard-line positions rather than more traditional compromises.

The Democrats picked this fight, which was unusual for the party that prefers to keep government running, but their voters are eager to challenge the president’s second-term agenda. Democrats are demanding funding for health care subsidies that are expiring for millions of people under the Affordable Care Act, spiking the costs of insurance premiums nationwide.

Republicans have refused to negotiate for now and have encouraged Trump to steer clear of any talks. After the White House meeting, the president posted a cartoonish fake video mocking the Democratic leadership that was widely viewed as unserious and racist.

What neither side has devised is an easy offramp to prevent what could become a protracted closure. The ramifications are certain to spread beyond the political arena, upending the lives of Americans who rely on the government for benefit payments, work contracts and the various services being thrown into turmoil.

An economic jolt could be felt in a matter of days. The government is expected Friday to produce its monthly jobs report, which may or may not be delivered. While the financial markets have generally “shrugged” during past shutdowns, according to a Goldman Sachs analysis, this one could be different partly because there are no signs of broader negotiations.
