The government could shut down in a week. Here's what's at stake for Americans.

• A government shutdown is looking more likely by the day as Republicans face disarray.
• GOPers can't agree on a defense-spending bill, much less a compromise on funding the government.
• Come September 30, some Americans may not see a paycheck or be able to visit parks.

It's looking more and more likely Americans will face a government shutdown. The stakes are high — and the odds of a resolution are getting slimmer.

On September 30, the government is set to run out of funding. It means the government may shut down for the first time since 2018. For everyday Americans, that could mean losing out on paychecks or childcare spots, and it could even worsen flight delays.
