Lights out for the federal government. As of two hours ago it is no longer being funded. Only 50 senators voted for the spending measure passed by the house falling short of the 60 required to proceed. A senate vote to fund the government through february 16 failed. The motion is not agreed to. Reporter private discussions continued on the floor even after the midnight deadline came and went. But to no avail. The Government Shutdown was 100 avoidable. All because Senate Democrats chose to filibuster a non controversial funding bill that contains nothing. Not a thing they do not support. Reporter democrats were holding out for a comprehensive spending bill, and a deal to protect dreamers brought to the u. S. Illegally as children. Minority leader, chuck schumer, said his earlier meeting with President Trump looked promising, but the president later back pedaled. He walked away from two bipartisan deals, including one today in which i even put the border wall on the table. Reporter the w
Have known for a long time our country was founded by geniuses, but it was run by idiots. Reporter now we are still waiting to hear what the president has to say or tweet. Now a partial shutdown wont affect much in the early hours of the weekend, but it could ultimately force National Parks and monuments to close, as well as the centers for disease control. Passport and visa processing will slow down or stop, and hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be furloughed. Whats not affected . Law enforcement agencies and the military stay on duty. Social security and medicare will continue to operate. And the u. S. Postal service will keep delivering your mail. Federal courts also remain open. Now during the last Government Shutdown in 2013, the iconic cliff house restaurant in San Francisco was forced to close. Thats because the privately owned restaurant and bar is on federal land. We can only imagine that if the shutdown drags on, it will be forced to close this time too. And we ch
And take the success after the surge and turn it into the chaos it is today . So ill be interested, mr. Speaker, in the days ahead as people seek to lead this country to find out which leaders would have gone ahead into iraq knowing the chaos they would create in the subsequent administration. With that i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. Does the gentleman have a motion . Mr. Gohmert at this time i move that we do now hereby adjourn. The speaker pro tempore the question is on the motion to adjourn. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. The ayes have it. The motion is adopted. Accordingly, the house stands adjourned until provide services for victims. Later in the week, several science related bills. The new congressional directory is a handy guide to the 114th congress with color photos of every senator and house number plus Contact Information and twitter handles. Also, district maps, a foldout map of capitol hill and a look a
Peace . I think that we want a democratic ukraine and we want respect for international borders. The challenge is, how do you clearly articulate it and what is the strategy link to the policy . What are the methods and mechanisms used to advance that. That gets to your point and how you encourage the democratic ukraine. That is probably where the answer is and, when the linkage is correct, you will have a clearly articulated policy towards the areas. Yeah, it our second consideration came from western europe and Eastern European countries. They need to know where the u. S. Stands on a lot of things. The baltic state, it does not matter which path is chosen and they were concerned and everybody understands, if you if russia takes a next step, they need the content and the clarity. We have a couple of International Fellows saying russia is part of europe, whether we like it or not. It is. So, yeah. Good morning. I am a college grad. As a strategist, there are a couple of things and i wan
