Senate to Vote on Funding Bills as Government Shutdown Reaches Day 3

The U.S. government shutdown enters its third day with the Senate set to vote on short-term funding measures, as deadlock persists between Republicans and Democrats. The Democratic proposal includes extending healthcare tax credits, a popular measure among Americans, while negotiations remain stalled, risking thousands of federal layoffs and halted infrastructure projects. The Senate is unlikely to work over the weekend, with further votes expected early next week.
