Partial Government Shutdown Officially Begins

BlockBeats News, January 31st, local time on the 31st, the U.S. government officially began a partial shutdown. Earlier, the U.S. Senate passed a spending bill to fund most federal government departments and submitted the bill to the House for approval. However, since House members are not in Washington and will not return until Monday (February 2nd), the Senate's vote could not avoid a partial government shutdown. (Jinse)
