Government shutdown: What impact is it having on everyday Americans?

The US government shutdown, now in its record-breaking 35th day, is causing chaos for millions of Americans. With no end in sight, essential workers like air traffic controllers and TSA officers are working without pay, leading to massive flight delays and cancellations. Meanwhile, food stamp benefits are cut in half for 42 million Americans, and federal employees are furloughed or working without pay. The shutdown also threatens to close parts of the airspace and delay funding for crucial programs like the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and Head Start centers.
