The federal government on Thursday entered its second day of a shutdown amid an impasse on Capitol Hill over competing congressional spending bills.
The Senate floor was open Thursday, but the chamber was not voting due to Yom Kippur. The Senate is, however, expected to vote again Friday on both the Democrat funding bill that includes health care provisions and the short-term government funding bill.
As of now, however, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he is not expecting the Senate to engage in weekend work.
President Donald Trump said Thursday he had a meeting scheduled with OMB Director Russ Vought to determine which agencies he “recommends” be cut — either temporarily or permanently.
“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.
He called the shutdown an “unprecedented opportunity.”
