Is the US govt heading for another shutdown? Minneapolis shooting fuels budget deadlock

The recent fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis has intensified political tensions in Washington, leading several senators to threaten opposition to upcoming government spending bills. This development raises the possibility of a federal government shutdown as lawmakers grapple with budgetary disagreements exacerbated by public outcry over the incident.
