House Republicans voted on their plan to avoid a government shutdown with a temporary, seven-week funding bill. But within hours, that was blocked by Democrats in the Senate. Their own plan for extending funding also fell short. So what does it mean? Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins reports on the latest as we approach the September 30 deadline.

    Given how actively the government is trying to harm us, I think a shutdown might be the better alternative for once.

      For twice. It would have been better than cucking to the BBB crap too.

      It needs to be shut down. That will force people to form grassroots movements, to bring essential stuff back to the states. Decentralise.

      Every journalist should respond to every Trump answer: “Yes, but how does that relate to the release of the Epstein Files”.

    Another government shutdown caused by Republicans. They are purposely gutting this country dry so they can buy everything up cheap.
