WASHINGTON — Federal offices are being shuttered and workers are being furloughed as the U.S. government officially shut down after midnight on Wednesday.
The Senate failed to reach an agreement to keep the government funded through Nov. 21, with Democrats demanding more funding for health care subsidies expiring for millions of people under the Affordable Care Act. Local House representatives are sharing their reaction.
Rep. Joe Morelle said he’s frustrated over his colleagues in the Senate not coming to an agreement to fund health care. On X, he wrote, “My Democratic colleagues and I will support a spending plan that cancels cuts, lowers costs, and protects health care. I won’t support another short-term ‘fix’ to an already broken budget.”

— Joe Morelle (@RepJoeMorelle) October 1, 2025Rep. Claudia Tenney said Democrats are to blame for the government shutdown. Senate Democrats largely stood united against the bill to extend federal funding, falling short of the 60 votes needed to end the filibuster and pass the bill. The final vote was 55-45.
“Shutting down the government is not the win Democrats think it is. They want to blame Trump for everything, but that strategy is failing. Americans want peace deals, less waste & lower taxes,” Tenney wrote on X.
