Here's How the Late-Night Spending Bill Session Ended in the House

We knew it would end like this when Congress recessed for Yom Kippur. The government has been out of session perilously close to the deadline for running out of money. They have until September 30 to pass a funding measure to keep the lights on, but Congress is shut down when the clock strikes midnight on October 1. Speaker Kevin McCarthy wanted to pass a series of other appropriations bills to curry goodwill before moving onto a vote to keep the government ope

The vote for the spending bills that didn’t involve shutting down Congress was voted on late last night. Defense and Ukraine aid passed, but agriculture didn’t make the cut. Regardless of falling short here, McCarthy still must move on the funding measure to avert a government shutdown today, but it’s likely things will grind to a halt this weekend up on the Hill. There isn’t enough time. It would be a miracle if they could pull it off, but I doubt it (via Politico): Read more and see Xs here.
