The federal government is in the midst of a partial shutdown, and it appears it will be that way for some time.
Members of the House and Senate reconvened at the Capitol on Saturday to try to find a way to resolve the impasse. There was hope lawmakers would quickly take up a patchwork resolution that is all of one week shorter than the measure that failed late Friday night in the Senate.
But it's not clear what path there is to a compromise, as Republican leaders made it clear they will not negotiate on immigration while the government is shut down.
