With just a day to go before a possible partial government shutdown, the Republican led House imploded after a hardline conservatives shot down a temporary GOP spending stop gap bill.

NPR's Claudia Grisallis has more.

Federal agencies are preparing to send thousands of workers home, but those considered essential will still have to work, but no one will be paid until Congress reaches a deal.
