A solo project I worked on reporting on the 2025 Government Shutdown which stands as the longest shutdown in American history. I made an effort to explain how the shutdown started, who is affected and the path forward for progress. I used professors and students from both sides of the aisle to give their thoughts on the shutdown while also providing background information that was fact-checked. It remains the 8th most popular video on the Poly Post YouTube channel at over 1,200 views.
