Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced that the House will vote on a 45-day funding bill, as the lawmakers continue to work to avert the government shutdown.

The country is hours away from a shutdown, but Congress may slowly be coming together on a plan to stop it – for now, at least.
Lawmakers have not passed annual spending bills to fund the federal government or a temporary measure that would give them more time to hash out a deal.
The House on Saturday passed their version of a temporary measure to keep the government open, known as a continuing resolution, with bipartisan support. However, the Senate still has to approve the same plan to keep the government open.
Infighting among House Republicans has practically paralyzed the chamber from moving anything meaningful to stop a shutdown. The bills that have passed include more political theater, such as a $1 salary for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, than line items able to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate.

How does he like them apples not only that but Pelosi got kicked out of her cushy office to the day of Retribution is finally upon us
That congressman tried to stop a vote using a fire alarm in a federal office but since he is a democrat, no accountability needed.
Sure they pass their own miserable bills that are not good for the ppl!
shut it down…dont need government..the government doesn't do anything for the people only them self's
Keep lying
If you all weren't so busy acting like fools for fame all the time, maybe you should have done your jobs. 🗽
Shut it down
Thank you for sharing this awesome content.
Anyone on here shouting “shut it down” better donate their paycheck to a TSA agent’s family. You are sick people, MAGA, not patriots, just terrorists. Done. 🇺🇸
Do you know this is ridiculous. How much more time do you need the time should be up shut the damn government down. I’m tired of this crap
it's ashame sheeple forget how repubs always cause the problem and never get punished by the voters!!!!
He did it
How much goddamn time do you need????? This is your damn job! This happens every year around this time you think that you would plan ahead! The American people are sick and tired of you spending money with no consequences… This is on both sides! Everyone in Congress should lose $10,000 a day for every day that this is not past with no additional spending… I don’t want a 10% cut I want to 40% cut in our spending!
Refreshingly a Republican calls his cohorts out on their non-sensible approach to remedy this problem and keep the government open. Thank you Speaker McCarthy. Thank you House for showing you have leverage!!
He just can't get the smarmy out of his voice. Get lost loser.
Refuse to pay senate if they can't do what they were elected to do!
SHUT IT DOWN!!!
Shut it down

Poor Kevin, Walmart is hiring greeters.
