What to know on Day 28 of the government shutdown:
The Senate failed to advance a Republican-backed funding bill to end the government shutdown for the 13th time. The final vote was 54 to 45, falling short of the 60 votes needed to move forward. No new Democrats voted in favor of advancing.
After lunch with Senate Republicans at the Capitol, Vice President JD Vance said the Trump administration has found a way to pay members of the military this Friday, but did not provide details.
Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia filed suit against the Trump administration over its plans to withhold food aid under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, arguing the law requires the government to provide funds for November. Benefits for 42 million Americans are due to run out on Saturday without more funding.
