Hours Away, Government Shutdown Seems Inevitable
The government will close at midnight.
The Senate is in session and should vote both on continuous republican resolution and democratic counter-proposition later during the day. The two will almost certainly fail.
The republicans of the room are still far from DC, which prompted the taunts of the Democrats of the Chamber, who gathered behind the chief of the Hakeem Jeffries room (D-NY) for a press briefing on the steps of the room on Tuesday morning, to return and “do their job”.
A meeting on Monday between Jeffries, the head of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the president of the Mike Johnson room (R-La), the head of the majority of the Senate John Thune (R-SD) and President Trump did not seem to move the needle. Shortly after the meeting, Trump published a video of Schumer’s Deepfake AI saying that the Democrats are “pieces of awake shit” with Jeffries nodding in a sombrero – not exactly the move of a engaged negotiator.
