The partial government shutdown stretched into its 21st day, tying the record for the longest. Judges, law enforcement officers, NASA engineers, weather forecasters and office staff were among some 800,000 federal workers who missed their first paychecks on Friday.
Negotiations over ending the government shutdown are at a standstill with no talks scheduled for the rest of the day or weekend in Congress, according to two congressional aides.
