It’s just for 45 days…..
But things go on…..
President Biden will sign off on it….
The U.S. Senate approved a stopgap spending measure to avert a government shutdown with just three hours to spare in a Saturday night vote. The final vote was 88-9.
The House passed the short-term spending bill to fund the government for another 45 days Saturday afternoon. The bill, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), passed the House 335 to 91, and caused lawmakers to break out into applause amid the pressure of a shutdown.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) set up a roll call shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday night. The Senate needed 60 yeas to pass the bill….
…
The bill authorizes funding only for another 45 days. The funding includes $16 billion in disaster relief but does not include assistance to Ukraine…..

When will the pedophile Matt Gaetz keep his word and remove McCarthy?
McCarthy HAS called Gaetz out….
I don’t think he has the votes….
Well Keith?
Jake Tapper
Matt Gaetz says he will attempt to oust Kevin McCarthy from the speakership this week
BTW?
Gaetz is getting a beat down on twitter social media with references to his pass legal problems….
McCarthy leans into a fight with Gaetz
Post coming
I think the House Democrats chipped in with about 209 votes for McCarthy’s backing
No, the Democrats have not voted to keep (or to unseat) the Speaker.
But those who want his ouster don’t have 217 votes (a majority of the current 433), which would all have to come from a Republican conference of about 221.
When asked, Democratic Representative say they will vote again for Hakeem Jeffries, should the Speakership fall vacant.
He, he, he….
Could ya imagine THAT?
A Republican House MAJORITY…..
SO DEVIDED!
With a Democratic House Speaker?????
Ah?
NO WAY….
