ReasonA partial government shutdown in effect since
midnight means furlough for some employees across the
government.

From the Hill:

The government shutdown has forced spy agencies to
furlough 70 percent of their civilian employees, according to a
senior intelligence official.

The furloughed employees include both support staff and
intelligence analysts, according to the official.

In other government shutdown news, while 97 percent of NASA’s
employees will be furloughed, the Mars Curiosity rover, because
it’s run by Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Lab, a contractor, will

continue to operate. Military personnel will continue to be
paid, but those stationed at US bases will
no longer enjoy 30 percent discounts at commissaries—the
commissaries are shuttering next week once they’ve expended their
perishable goods. This weekend’s Army-Navy game
may be cancelled. Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn

points out the partial government shutdown means no new
regulations from the EPA for now.
