- Congressional Budget Office releases economic impact assessment of ongoing federal government shutdown — The Congressional Budget Office released a report to the House Budget Committee estimating the federal government shutdown will cost the US between $7 billion and $14 billion, depending on duration, and reduce GDP by one to two percentage points in Q4 2025. CBO Director Phillip Swagel stated the shutdown will delay federal spending and have negative economic effects that will mostly reverse once it ends. The shutdown had reached 29 days with no resolution in sight, as Senate Democrats blocked a Republican-backed spending bill lacking healthcare funding and curbs on Trump administration cuts.
