this deal still sends it all back to the house on monday. so a one day shutdown at minimum. |

If they agree (big IF I suppose but Trump did tell them to play ball) it seems like they could just pass it first thing Monday morning and everyone can just stay at work since they have to report for shutdown procedures anyways. |

This only applies to agencies in the same bill that DHS is in, right? Agencies in other bills, like IRS, will be passed tomorrow by senate? |

last time we were able to telework for our orderly shutdown time, so a wise agency would probably do that again in the event congress got their act together |

no. they all have to go back to the house. the house passed them individually but packaged them up in a single bill that was transmitted to the senate. breaking them up means they still have to go back to the house. |

Schumer is still worthless. |

| So when does the Senate vote? |

No they didn’t. If the Senate passes the compromise bills most agencies will be funded through the end of FY26. DHS will have a 2 week CR so that negotiations can take place over how much money/oversight ICE will have. GOP wanted a 4 week CR for DHS, and the dems got a 2 week CR instead. |

| I think there needs to be a rule that when faced with a shutdown, they can vote remotely. |

| I read that Graham objected to the vote last night and they are trying to vote again today at 11. The House has a 72 hour recall rule so they won't reconvene until Monday. I think Monday afternoon is the earliest this gets resolved. |

| Odd situation for some agencies on Monday, maybe—possibly up to four hours for orderly shutdown activities and then a House vote and Trump signature that afternoon? Hopefully it all gets done very early a.m Monday instead. |

That seems unlikely. Let's say someone has a 7 a.m. start time, they are only supposed to be performing shutdown activities so maybe 2 hours max and then they have to leave. Even someone with a 9 a.m. start time is only supposed to be performing shutdown-related work during their working time and it seems unlikely they will get through the mechanizations of doing the vote and having Trump sign it in the morning. This all assumes they can wrangle enough votes in the house. |

| The House will easily and very quickly pass this with Dem votes, it would seem. |

I remember a "shutdown" during the first Trump administration where we were told to all come in, were not permitted to work on anything (including shutdown tasks) and were told to get to work once the bill had passed (in the late morning, as I recall). Management later apologized, saying that what they'd asked of us was inappropriate. But that's what I expect to happen on Monday, as well. |
