The second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues, still with no clear end in sight.
As of Oct. 27, the shutdown has been active for 26 days after it began on Oct. 1 amidst disagreements on Medicaid funding. Democrats and Republicans continue to blame one another for the shutdown, which occurred when Congress failed to agree on a budget or temporary funding measures.
