The U.S. Senate voted late last night to avoid a government shutdown.

ABC News reports the move "will keep the government funded at 2023 levels. The bill extends government funding until Jan. 19 for the Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Energy departments, as well as for military construction. The rest of the government is funded until Feb. 2."

The Senate has approved a funding package for the government in an 87-11 vote.

Once President Biden signs the bill, the government will remain funded in its entirety through January 19th, 2024.

Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson continues to be criticized by the far-right of the House GOP because of his reliance on House Democrats to pass the bill.

(#GovernmentShutdown, continued)

#Democrats, meanwhile, dislike the two separate deadlines and would prefer the funding measure include aid for Israel and Ukraine.

The White House called the proposal “a recipe for more Republican chaos and more shutdowns – full stop” and Biden is expected to threaten to veto the measure.

The federal government will run out of money by the end of the day on Friday if no new deal is reached.

Ugh. With 4 days until a #governmentshutdown, #HouseRepublicans, #Democrats, and the White House have all panned the Speaker's
complex 2-tiered plan to temporarily fund the government.

At least a half-dozen GOP members oppose the measure–enough to sink the bill without Dem support--that would set funding for some parts of the govt through 1/19 and other parts through 2/2. They’ve demanded immediate spending cuts or changes to immigration law as a condition for support.

Text from article:
Unless, of course, we abdicate our position of unmatched power. I fear we might be in the process of doing just that — not as a conscious decision but simply as an outgrowth of our domestic political [handwritten in red, "GOP"] dysfunction.

[hand drawn arrows point from "GOP" to the issues created by GOP obstruction]

The Senate still seems incapable of breaking Tuberville’s hold and confirming hundreds of military officers who are needed at their posts. The Republican-controlled House seems incapable of passing a budget and might force a government shutdown this week. The House approved $14 billion in additional aid for Israel but included a poison-pill provision that would slash funding for the Internal Revenue Service and thereby widen the budget deficit. The House hasn’t passed a Ukraine aid bill at all, even as existing funding is running out. The Senate stands more ready to approve aid to Israel and Ukraine, but Republicans there are insisting on adding draconian border-control provisions that are unpopular among Democrats and could snarl the legislation.

It used to be said that “politics stops at the water’s edge.” You can debate whether that was true in the past. It’s definitely not true now. Foreign policy has become yet another partisan battleground, and the collateral damage is likely to include the United States’ standing in the world.

👉They then got in a fight with each other, and went home ... EXCEPT the new Speaker.

"If the #GOP can’t manage a party-line vote on basic spending bills, how will they manage a new CR? We’re now exactly back to where we were weeks ago: facing a #GovernmentShutdown and in need of a clean extension, but with a Speaker with far less experience than McCarthy."

“Speaker #MikeJohnson resembles a deer-in-the-headlights rather than the person second in line to the presidency. #Johnson does not appear to be working on Plans “A”, “B”, or “C.” Instead, he appears to be learning on the job that the GOP’s problem in the House is not the identity of the Speaker but the #GOP itself”

https://roberthubbell.substack.com/p/trusting-our-intincts

Text Shot: In other words, the government shutdown and the GOP’s next speakership election may merge into a single crisis of the GOP’s making. Johnson has until next Tuesday to propose a continuing resolution that will keep the government open after next Friday. That seems unlikely and should be a bigger story. It will be in short order.

61) The #GovernmentShutdown is a creation of the #GOP. The #RepublicanParty only becomes interested in #BalancedBudgets when out of, or with limited power.

Inevitably, the GOP’s onset of fiscal rectitude is accompanied by a desire to cut #spending which in turn will be used to reward the donor class with #TaxCuts. There is never any interest on the other side of the budgetary equation, namely raising taxes on the wealthy

This is the only governance idea the GOP has: #TaxCutsForTheRich

Oh yes, here's #MitchMcConnell being "less obstructionist" now, for sure.

What's that, he won't let a bi-partisan bill pass the Senate, meaning there will be a #GovernmentShutdown caused by Republicans--again, it's always under Republican control of the House that this fuckery happens--and millions of us will suffer.

But sure, it's all better now that the Black man isn't President, sure it is.

Apparently some Reps are saying their staff are “essential” so that they can keep working on the “impeachment” during the Government Shutdown that they caused.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/26/politics/impeachment-inquiry-shutdown/index.html

CNN: In recent days, House Republicans – like all federal agencies – have been working behind the scenes to figure out which of their operations and staffers will be deemed “essential” if the government shuts down at midnight on Saturday. And it has been determined that the GOP-led committees heading the Biden impeachment inquiry will fall under that umbrella, according to multiple Republican lawmakers and aides, though formal shutdown plans are still being finalized.

A reminder to all journalists: most in the GOP don't MIND a government shut down because a core of their philosophy is disemboweling government and then complaining how government doesn't work. The impacts to people, the economy, and the environment don't matter to them.
