Oct. 24: Next paycheck for federal employees
Oct. 31: Next military paycheck
Oct. 31 and Nov. 5: Congressional staffer paychecks
Nov. 1: Affordable Care Act open enrollment
Nov. 21: Week of Thanksgiving
November 1 Obama care is already here because the CT exchange sent me a letter saying our cost may be higher.
Can you enlighten me?
Is there any deadline?
Any time when this will end regardless of what Schumer does?
When new, permanent budget of BBB kicks in?
I have no idea, please, help!
The CR is supposed to run out around Nov 21, so a shutdown lasting that long means everything has to start over again.
There is a side story that I just can’t comprehend
Caesars 2nd highest casino outside of Vegas decided to unionize. They got the votes. then shut down happened. the nlrb can’t certify the election. Caesars wont allow an independent party to certify.
They walked off the job yesterday. I saw a video that I can’t find now that appeared like some of the dealers didnt even lock up the money but that doesnt seem likely
I didnt know you could go on a strike before you even unionize.
And what in the world is Caesars thinking. Losing a ton of money for something that seems inevitable when the government opens.
Its so bizarre.
It’s just another stupid political purse fight!
Why can’t we elect competent people to office? Oh never mind. We get the government we deserve.
We need a REAL budget. No more CR stuff. Let’s get serious.
No mention in this article about after the No Kings march.
Is the nuclear option on the table ?
There’s a FedGov shutdown? Who knew?
I like Thune’s idea of a separate billl just to pay the military. Force the Dems to vote no on that.
I am predicting this week sometime. The Klatifag and other Marxist rabble “No Kings” rally will be over today.
Do this, make the Dems vote no, then use that vote to nuke the filibuster.
I see congressional staffers get their own line item. The Hill knows who its real constituents are.
It has been 28 years since congress passed a budget (1997). CR’s should be illegal.
The article does not mention Nov 4, election day.
I would expect that there is pressure to grand stand with media events for election day that could be pressure for action.
Agree!
Should be unconstitutional!
Nov 5 - results of elections in VA & NJ.
The shutdown will end when majority leader Thune proposes to end filibusters.
