#UnionOfBCIndianChiefs wants to see an industry based #RCMP unit #disbanded.
In a letter to #GovernmentOfCanada & #BCgovernment #politicians this week, the organization says the RCMP’s #CIRG should be #ShutDown.
The unit was used to deal with #protests against #OldGrowthLogging in #FairyCreek on #VancouverIsland last year. It’s currently #UnderInvestigation by the Civilian Review & Complaints Commission #CRCC for the RCMP.

After more than a decade of operation, a #SandMine on the east coast of #Indonesia’s #LombokIsland has been shuttered amid a graft #investigation.
The #shutdown comes as Indonesia repeals a ban on the #export of #sand, which had been in place for more than two decades.
#CivilSociety groups say the decision to resume exports of sand could exacerbate #CoastalAbrasion in the world’s largest #archipelago country.

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."
Shutdown averted
Thanks to House Democrats' vote

Auch US-Senat stimmt dem Übergangshaushalt zu
Der Stillstand der Regierungsgeschäfte ist abgewendet - nach dem Repräsentantenhaus stimmte auch der Senat einem Übergangsetat zu. Weiter verhandelt wird trotzdem, weil zentrale Regierungswünsche ausgeklammert wurden.
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.

"The House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday [for continuing resolutions] to prevent a government #shutdown after new Republican Speaker Mike Johnson was forced to reach across the aisle to Democrats when hard-right conservatives revolted against his plan.
"Johnson’s proposal to temporarily fund the government into the new year passed on a bipartisan 336-95 tally, but 93 Republicans voted against it."

Shutdown looms as #ConservativesInChaos and House still unable to govern despite new Speaker, leading to the same scenario that ousted the last one.
The Biden administration and fellow Democrats are panning a proposal by House GOP leaders for a two-part U.S. government spending bill that would fund certain agencies through one date and other agencies through another.

Even the most wingnutty Repubs have been so embarrassed by all the drama that they don't want a shutdown--and see it as a good way to lose the House--but they can't get together on a GOP bill and they've created this monster that won't allow them to pass a clean CR with Dem votes. Total clusterfuck.

Long post but incredibly well-written - loved this bit in particular:
"In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity."
Facts.
Commander #MikeJohnson's (R- #Gilead) #government #funding plan would mean a government #shutdown crisis every two weeks! He wants staggered, individual funding for every department as opposed to a single, unified funding package. This guy is really fucking stupid.

Hang on. We can’t affect the pay of congresspeople due to the Constitution… but we CAN fine them for each day of a #shutdown. Okay, *we* can’t directly, but the government can.
Obviously they wouldn’t pass such a law themselves, but I think state governments could, say, pass a law to levy a state tax penalty equal to the daily portion of a congressperson’s salary for each day the federal government remains closed.
Would they do this? Probably not! But it’s an option… 🤔

One side effect of a government #shutdown is people are going to get a reminder of how important the government actually is.
Here's an example.
The National Flood Insurance Program expires alongside the government's funding at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. If lawmakers do not reauthorize the program, about 1,300 property closings each day could be delayed.
There will be thousands of other reminders of what the government actually does for us.
