The U.S. government "shutdown" continues, as the Senate rejects the temporary funding bill for the 12th time.

On October 23, local time October 22, the U.S. Senate failed to pass the temporary funding bill proposed by the Republicans, and the government “shutdown” stalemate continues. It is reported that this is the 12th time the Senate has voted down the temporary funding bill after the recent government “shutdown” in the U.S. Due to the huge differences between the Republican and Democratic parties on core issues such as healthcare-related benefits, the Senate was unable to pass a new temporary funding bill before the end of the last fiscal year on September 30, leading to the depletion of funds necessary for the federal government to operate normally, resulting in a “shutdown” starting October 1.
