Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday he is not in favor of a stopgap measure that would only fund the government until December, preferring a January time frame.

It is because of Epstein there is another Republican that will cancel out the Dem from Arizona he has not seated yet. When that person can be seated he will reopen. until then nope .

Republcians are morons.

I don’t think it works that way. They would get the 218th vote from the AZ rep. It doesn’t matter who else comes in.

This. And the current Republican administration seems to hate federal employees and their own federal agencies, so for them keeping feds unpaid and raiding the Treasury for their own purposes is a win win.

Meanwhile, Thune says no negotiations until a CR passes.

Betting odds as of an hour ago give a 68% chance to it lasting more than 30 days, 51% to it lasting more than 35 days.

From tomorrow’s schedule it appears to me that they convene at 10am and there is no vote on cloture for the CR scheduled as of now. So that means at earliest, we go back Thursday if they vote on Wednesday and it somehow moves forward on its 12th vote…

I’m hoping by Nov 4, but think it’s seeming more and more likely this drags through Thanksgiving.

Maybe in the new year. Maybe never? This would be a great way to eliminate the government in their twisted minds.

Who here actually voted to support this nightmare? You still happy with things?

Where is the tragic thinking person who early-on asked if the cost of groceries would go down?

I guess there is yet another vote tomorrow and it not passes, gets kicked over the Mike and the House. They may dork around with it for awhile.

Sounds like the Senate will vote on a new, amended CR tomorrow. Unclear if it will pass, but Thune thinks yes.

If it passes and then goes to the House, it’s possible the gov returns to the office by perhaps Wednesday of next week at the earliest. Remember that we have Tuesday off and the House may need to deliberates a few things.

need the government to fund multi billion dollar for profit hospitals? Why do hospital administrators have a salary of $4 million? Why do health insurance executives have multimillion dollar salaries? It’s not that quality healthcare actually costs that much. It’s the greedy individuals ranking in profit off misery.

why did i see a $3987/month price tag for BCBS that my employer and I pay almost half the price for. Something is wrong.

Safe to say nurses don’t make $100k in Germany and the UK. Our healthcare costs a lot for boring but unsolvable reasons.

Considering Ozempic is 1K+ per month I'd venture a guess that alone increases our costs.

Prime day was a bust. Black Friday will be too even if reopen.

50% consumer spending is by the top 5% or so — they aren’t getting up in middle of night to fight crowds for a cheap big screen.

The other 50% don’t have money for discretionary, with slashed income, rising food prices, and exploding health care costs for ACA and private employer plans.
