As the government shutdown enters its second day on Thursday, there’s no end in sight, with the Trump administration potentially firing some federal workers in the next day and Republican senators looking to peel off wavering Democrats to support the GOP's government funding bill.

The emails resemble messages that have appeared on several agency webpages amid the shutdown and blame Democratic senators for Congress’ failure to agree to extend funding at the start of the fiscal year.

Americans' routine interactions with the federal government this week are increasingly being met with partisan messaging.

It's Obamacare health insurance prices — and how much help 24 million Americans will get with their premiums — that are in dispute.

The shutdown forced the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, a popular ArtPrize venue, to close, and artists competing for the $100,000 grand prize had to make quick decisions about whether to move their entries.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced it is eliminating $7.6 billion dollars in grants for 16 blue states, including Colorado.

President Donald Trump and Republicans have cast blame for the shutdown on Democrats' health care demands, while Democrats insist Republicans need to negotiate. The Senate is scheduled to return Friday for another vote. The Trump administration has threatened mass layoffs of some federal workers during the shutdown.

Blame was being cast on all sides, and no new talks were scheduled after the president failed this week to secure a deal with congressional leaders.
