It looks like you've been scrolling through the crypto-side of X/Twitter! While the "Breaking" headlines and tickers ($CLANKER , $BULLA ) are moving fast, here is the actual situation as of today, Sunday, February 1, 2026:

📉 The Current Status

The U.S. government did indeed enter a partial shutdown at 12:01 AM on Saturday, January 31. This wasn't a total "lights out" for every department, but it has affected about 75% of federal operations.

🗓️ Why "Until Monday"?

The reason you’re seeing the "Monday" deadline everywhere is due to a bit of a legislative "hurry up and wait" situation:

* The Senate has already moved: Late Friday night, the Senate passed a deal (backed by President Trump) that would fund most of the government through September and give a two-week "patch" for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

* The House is on a break: The House of Representatives was out of session this weekend and isn't scheduled to return until Monday, February 2.

* The Vote: House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to bring the Senate's deal to the floor for a vote as soon as they return Monday evening.

🛑 What’s Actually Closed Right Now?

Since we are in the middle of a weekend, the immediate impact is mostly behind the scenes, but here’s what is affected:

* Impacted: Departments like Defense, State, Treasury, Labor, and Health & Human Services are technically in a lapse of funding.

* Still Open: Essential services—like the TSA, Border Patrol, Social Security processing, and the Post Office—remain operational, though many employees are currently working without immediate pay.

* Not Affected: Agencies already funded in previous cycles, like the VA, Justice Department, and Agriculture, are running as usual.

The TL;DR: We are in a "weekend gap." If the House passes the deal on Monday as expected, the shutdown will be one of the shortest in history and likely over before the Tuesday morning commute.
