It’s great that there won’t be a shutdown, at least for another 6 weeks, but why does this have to be such a stupid game of chicken every damn time?
Something as important as deciding the fate of millions of government employees should not be something the government handles as though they were a university student who forgot a coursework deadline was tomorrow.

There’s plenty of time to pass Government funding bills for the next fiscal year, and I strongly urge Congress to get to work right away.

Biden signing the bill into law caps a chaotic few weeks in Congress, and a day full of surprises in the Capitol.

“Just moments ago on the House floor we passed by overwhelming numbers the ability to keep government open for the next six weeks,” McCarthy said in a press conference in the wake of the vote.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) praised the work of his party to pass the bill.

It ensures military service members are paid, that no federal workers will be furloughed, that food assistance programs will continue uninterrupted, that national parks will remain open and that travel will not be impacted.

But the burning question of the day—did Fetterman wear a suit?
