2026: the year of partial government shutdowns  
Podcast: Marketplace All-in-One

Description: We just had a partial government shutdown, and now we're edging closer to another. It would involve just one federal agency — the Department of Homeland Security. DHS will run out of money this Saturday if Congress doesn’t reach a compromise over ICE and pass a funding bill, but other agencies would be affected. Also on the show: the jobs report, buyers of U.S. debt, and Russian strikes on Ukrainian heating systems.
