On a typical day, approximately 60,000 Americans apply for Social Security cards, which they may need to be able to start a job, take out a loan, open a bank account, or conduct other financial transactions. During the shutdown, SSA could not issue new Social Security cards.\r\nThe E-Verify system was closed, so employers were also unable to check prospective employees\u2019 immigration status.\r\nThe shutdown cost $500 million in lost visitor spending across the country, according to the National Park Service.\r\n \r\nDuring the shutdown, Senator Joe Donnelly spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate, citing some in Congress as the biggest obstacle to future job creation and outlining how Congress\u2019 dysfunction is hurting the U.S. and Indiana economies.\u00a0\r\nDonnelly said, \u201cAt a time when Hoosiers are trying to get back to work and take care of our families, Congress\u2019 inability to work together is making it so much more difficult. Congress is not helping and is actually hindering\u00a0job creation and economic growth.\u201d\u00a0 Watch his full remarks here.\r\nFollowing the shutdown, Donnelly told the Indiana media, \u201c\u201cI have for the past few weeks been a part of a group of now 14 senators\u20266 Democrats, 1 Independent, and 7 Republicans who have met several times over the past couple of weeks to putting\u00a0together a bipartisan framework to get the government operating and ensure we continue to pay our bills. This is about the jobs in Indiana, making sure we don\u2019t have any interruptions in creating more jobs, about our families making ends meet. \u00a0It\u2019s about our economy.\u00a0 It\u2019s about our nation\u2019s reputation.\u201d\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Press Contact \n\t\t\t\t\tDonnelly_Press@Donnelly.Senate.Gov", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.donnelly.senate.gov/newsroom/press/icymi-omb-reports-shutdown-cost-billions-prevented-job-growth"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6082339677959681, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
