After Congress failed to reach a funding agreement, the US government closed in the middle of the night on October 1st, and it seemed like there was no end.
The closure is the 15th since 1981, with Republicans and Democrats blaming each other for not reaching the deal in time.
The looming fundraising fight is also a threat to massive layoffs, with both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance saying that a “huge number” of federal workers could end during the closure.
Photos took the scene as the closure hit several federal offices and national landmarks, like the Washington Monument, while the closure hits several federal offices and national landmarks.
