Happy October 1st. The government is still open, after Kevin McCarthy caved and put a clean CR on the floor, reauthorizing the FAA, continuing funding at current levels, and not authorizing additional Ukraine aid. Apparently the only thing Republicans really wanted was to serve Putin and cut Ukraine. They didn't really even succeed at that, but in 45 days we could find ourselves in the same boat.
At any rate, the shutdown is at least postponed until just before Thanksgiving and the government will continue to function. Suck it, Matt Gaetz.
Happy Sunday! What's giving you joy today?
