Government shutdown to roll into weekend as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer demands bipartisan negotiations on continuing resolution and healthcare credits.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration froze $2.1 billion in Chicago transit funding on Friday, starving another Democratic city of funds as a bid to end the government shutdown failed again in the Senate.

US Senators have for a fourth time failed to pass spending proposals to reopen the federal government, extending the ongoing shutdown into next week. Two separate spending proposals - one from the Democrats and one from Republicans - failed to reach the required 60-vote threshold.
