Democrats actually CANNOT approve the bill’s now that they have held out this long….
he Senate on Monday voted against reopening the federal government for the 11th time, pushing the shutdown to the three-week mark with both sides at loggerheads and unable to break the impasse.
The chamber voted 50-43 on the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government through late November. It needed 60 votes to pass.
Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Angus King (I-Maine) once again crossed party lines and sided with Republicans. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who had previously voted in favor of the measure, did not vote on Monday.
Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) was the lone Senate GOP “no” vote.
The tally came days after the “No Kings” rallies in Washington and across the country, with Republicans hopeful that a deal could come together with those events in the rearview mirror.
However, there remain precious few signs that the stalemate will dissolve in the near term, likely ensuring that it will extend into a fourth week and potentially into November.
In remarks on the floor Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the Democratic position “remains the same.”….
…
The Senate is expected to next vote on the stopgap funding bill on Wednesday….
This “ shutdown “ is a joke.
Nobody gives a damn.
You want a “ shutdown?”
Quit paying government bills, quit paying federal workers, and quit paying social security and oh yes quit paying Congress and their staff.
This?
A silly comedy whose humor ran out long ago,
Yup….
Thing would taken carte of in TEN SECONDS….
