It doesn’t seem like a good sign when the “knowledgeable source” says they still can’t agree on the form or the substance of such a measure.

At least they're willing to work on a Saturday? I assumed they'd be flying home per usual so that is slightly encouraging. The bar is so low!

this didn't make sense. the house adjourned thursday before noon until Monday the 13th. they aren't working.

Johnson sent them home. He went to Paris to speak to Neo-fascists.

I read another article and it said they plan to put it on the floor Tuesday so it will be published today due to the 72 hour rule.

PP here again and they are doing a two step CR, no cuts.

While I agree it's kinda gimmicky I don't see why folks are so against it. If it was a clean CR until January people wouldn't care so this is a clean CR for some of govt until Jan and for the rest until Feb. Realistically everyone has to deal with this sh*t again in January.

Yeah, separating the deadlines by two weeks doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. Compared to the "laddered" idea going agency by agency, this doesn't seem horrendous. What am I missing?

My guess is they will put favored agencies in the later batch and try to shutdown EPA, DOJ, HHS HUD etc by only funding them until January. Terrible approach to funding the govt

PP that posted the article and its not much different than a CR for everything until January and then only passing budgets for the favored agencies such as DoD and letting the others shut down.

Yeah and that's happened before so I guess I don't get why this is so bad, we may wind up there either way. Maybe it's one of those compromises where everyone's unhappy so it will actually work.

DP - while I personally don’t think this plan is *that* bad, since the Senate and White House apparently do, it seems like a non-starter.

You're missing that they are simply failing to do the jobs they were #$%@# elected to do!
And I for one am sick of it.

It is setting up two shutdown fights in a row. We're on our second in a row right now and it's exhausting. And stupid.

Johnson is setting up the new year to be exhausting and stupid - for no reason. Why? Because he wants to be different? What's the upside here? For him or anyone?

I honestly don't even care as long as they manage to pass something. Don't you think if they managed to pass clean versions of these the Senate and White House would go along with it rather than have a shutdown?
