Government Shutdown 2025: What You NEED to Know Before It Happens - Adam Kinzinger

[Rhiannon12866]

The government is once again on the brink of a shutdown as Congress faces the end of the fiscal year. But what does a government shutdown actually mean for you? In this video, I break down what a shutdown is, why it happens, and the different ways Congress can try to avoid it, including minibuses, omnibus bills, and continuing resolutions (CRs). I’ll also cover what Democrats should do in this funding fight and why both parties use shutdowns as leverage.

If you’ve ever been confused by terms like “CR” or “omnibus,” or wondered how shutdowns impact everyday Americans, this video will explain it simply. - 09/12/2025.
