Lawmakers fail to reach deal with partial shutdown looming


Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday blasted Republicans over the threat of what he called “a harmful and unnecessary government shutdown” as Congress struggles to strike a bipartisan deal days out from a key funding deadline. 

“We are mere days away from a partial government shutdown on March 1. Unless Republicans get serious, the extreme Republican shutdown will endanger our economy, raise costs, lower safety, and exact untold pain on the American people,” Schumer wrote in a letter to lawmakers on Sunday.
