The U.S. is two days away from a shutdown − a situation moving from possible to likely as Congress has failed to cut through gridlock and reach a deal to fund the federal government.
Millions of Americans will be impacted if lawmakers can't reach a deal before 12:01 a.m. Oct. 1.
A shutdown would impact the country's largest food assistance programs, federally funded preschool, federal college grants and loans, food safety inspections, national parks and more.
