Editor's Note: Congress passed legislation to fund the federal government and President Joe Biden signed it just before midnight Sept. 30. The measure will keep the government open through Nov. 17, 2023.
If a government shutdown occurs Nov. 17, it will have wide-reaching impacts on everything from national parks (the Department of the Interior said it plans to close the majority of national parks and monuments to the public during a shutdown) to air travel (disruptions and slower service are expected as thousands of air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration personnel will have to work without pay, which may mean many will call out from work to find other ways of making money).
