The United States government is at a standstill.
The ongoing federal government shutdown has surpassed the record for the longest in US history.
Beating the 2019 record set under the first Trump administration overnight, this shutdown is the third to occur under the leadership of US President Donald Trump.
Thousands of workers have been left without pay, and millions more face an uncertain wait for money to buy food.
Here are some of the key numbers.
36 days — How long the shutdown has lasted
The shutdown began on October 1.
Under the US system, Congress must agree to a spending plan, which the president then signs into law.
If it can't do that before the previous budget expires, the government shuts down.
This time around, Republicans and Democrats are deadlocked on healthcare benefits, with both sides blocking each other's stopgap measures in the Senate.
Democrats want an extension to tax credits under the Affordable Care Act — subsidising health insurance for millions — which are set to expire by the end of the year.
While Republicans control both chambers of Congress, they are short the 60 votes they need to get their spending plan over the line.
This is the 11th government shutdown in modern US history, and the third under a Trump administration.
670,000 — Federal workers furloughed
As of last Friday, an estimated 670,000 federal employees have been furloughed — meaning they have been placed on unpaid leave.
That is according to the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank tracking the impact of the shutdown.
The first pay date with zero income for federal workers was on October 24.
In some cases, including at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Education, their planned furloughs would affect more than 80 per cent of staff.
Under the EPA's shutdown plan, some 13,432 staff — 89 per cent of the workforce — have been furloughed.
A further 906 staffers are working without pay, and just 828 — 5 per cent — are still being paid.
730,000 — Working without pay
An estimated 730,000 federal employees are continuing to work through the shutdown without being paid, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.
A further 1.3 million active-duty military personnel and more than 750,000 National Guard and reserve personnel are also potentially working without pay.
Those still working are classed as essential workers, among them air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration officers.
This means they must continue working without pay and are not able to collect unemployment benefits or look for a second job.
After the government reopens they are slated to receive back pay — something Mr Trump has threatened to block.
"For the most part, we're going to take care of our people," he said.
"There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way."
A federal judge has also indefinitely blocked the White House from following through on the 4,000 lay-off notices it has already issued during the shutdown.
42 million — People waiting on food stamp benefits
Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to feed themselves.
SNAP benefits, also called "food stamps", ran out of funds on Saturday local time — the first time since its creation six decades ago.
A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to continue funding the program which costs about $US8 billion ($12.25 billion) per month.
About one in eight US residents gets an average of $US187 per month via the program.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, almost 39 per cent of recipients are children under 18 years old.
It is America's largest anti-hunger program.
Trump administration officials said they would use a contingency fund to cover half the amount participants would usually get in November.
However, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said it could take "several weeks" to deliver.
$130 million — The private donation to pay military personnel
An unnamed private donor has gifted $US130 million ($200.34 million) to the Pentagon to pay US troops, US defence officials have confirmed.
The money will go towards paying more than 1.3 million service members.
Mr Trump has hinted at the donor's identity — labelling them a "big supporter".
Concerns have been raised by some senators about the legality of the donation, including Delaware's Chris Coons, the Democrat who serves as vice chair of the Senate Ethics Committee.
"Using anonymous donations to fund our military raises troubling questions of whether our own troops are at risk of being literally bought and paid for by foreign powers," he said.
The donation amounts to a fraction of the almost $US6.4 billion ($9.84 billion) it costs to pay US troops every fortnight, according to the American Enterprise Institute.
3.2 million — Passengers facing flight delays or cancellations
More than half of the 30 major airports across the United States have been hit with staffing shortages, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Almost 80 per cent of air traffic controllers in New York are absent, and 3.2 million passengers have been impacted by the delays, the organisation said.
"After [weeks] without pay, air traffic controllers are under immense stress and fatigue," the FAA said in a statement.
"The shutdown must end so that these controllers receive the pay they've earned and travellers can avoid further disruptions and delays."
Multiple airlines and aviation bodies have also called for the shutdown to end.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Tuesday local time they may need to close "certain parts of the airspace" if staffing shortages continue.
$14 billion — Estimated economic cost
The shutdown will cost the US between an estimated $US7 billion and $US14 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
In its October 29 estimate the nonpartisan CBO said the ultimate cost depended on how long the shutdown lasts.
That $US14 billion maximum cost is its estimate if the shutdown lasts for eight weeks.
Furloughed workers and those on SNAP benefits cutting their spending could also curtail the national economic output, leading the CBO to predict a 2-point dip in GDP in that eight-week scenario.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers predicted the month-long shutdown would cause a loss of $US30 billion in consumer spending.
14 — Times voted to end the shutdown
So far, the Senate has failed 14 times to advance a bill which would end the shutdown.
The latest one saw 54 senators voting in favour and 44 against — short of the 60-vote super majority Republicans need.
The failure of that 14th vote ensured the shutdown would stretch on to become the longest in US history.
It is not clear when they will attempt to vote again, even after Mr Trump hosted Republican senators at a breakfast on Wednesday local time.
Democrats say they will only support a bill which extends those health care subsidies.
Republicans say they want a "clean resolution" and will only negotiate the healthcare subsidies separately.
5 — Senators who need to change their vote
Only a handful of senators need to cross the aisle to give the Republicans the super majority they need to pass a spending plan and end the shutdown.
Winning over those last five would let Republicans pass short-term measures and return to order.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he had "hope" an agreement was close.
"The cross-pressures that everybody's feeling are great," he said.
"But I think there are people who realise this has gone on long enough and there's been pain inflicted on the American people and it's time to end it."
Both parties have been involved in ongoing talks in an effort to reach a deal.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke to media on Tuesday local time, following a lengthy caucus meeting.
"We've had a very good caucus, and we're exploring all the options," he said.
