US government shutdown: What it is, impact on visa, scientific research and more

If Congress fails to extend funding past November 17, government services would be disrupted and federal workers would be told not to work. Essential workers would remain on the job, but all employees' pay could be disrupted during the shutdown. The Antideficiency Act prevents federal agencies from spending money without congressional approval. Previous government shutdowns have affected scientific research and visa services. The shutdown in 2019 also impacted the rollout of 5G technology in the US.
