    1. “Since the longest shutdown in U.S. history last fall, lawmakers have been working to pass individual spending bills to fund federal agencies through September 2026. Congress has passed, and the president has signed, six of those bills already. The other six are the focus of the current funding fight.

      Bipartisan talks appeared to have yielded a deal in recent weeks. Appropriators released the text of the funding measures on Jan. 20. Five of the bills were grouped together into one package, while the bill funding DHS was separated. House Democrats had threatened to withhold their support for the overall funding if the DHS bill was included, arguing it did not go far enough to rein in ICE after the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

      The DHS portion passed with support from just seven Democrats when the House voted last week, while the larger funding package passed with wide bipartisan support. The House then grouped the bills together to send them to the Senate, a move that was meant to clear the way for swift passage.

      But the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis last weekend changed the calculus for Senate Democrats. They came out fiercely against funding for DHS without further reforms, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the caucus would not provide the votes to move forward on the funding package unless the DHS money was stripped out.”

      “In addition to DHS, funding for other major departments and their subagencies has lapsed. They include:

      Defense Department
      State Department
      Department of Labor
      Department of Health and Human Services
      Department of Education
      Department of Transportation
      Department of Housing and Urban Development
      Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service. “

    2. TL;DR these are the agencies that are shut down. The senate passed funding for all these agencies but the house is still out playing recess and then won’t come back inside until Monday. Remember even if this is all solved soon congress has until the end of September to do this all over again or else we have another shut down.

      Defense Department

      State Department

      Department of Labor

      Department of Health and Human Services

      Department of Education

      Department of Transportation

      Department of Housing and Urban Development

      Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service. 

    3. Let guess,

      Department of labor ? ( so no govt stats, stock markrt will BOOM)

      Department of education ? ( don’t need to read we feed you news and A1)

      Department of health? ( drink bleach, kill kung flu )

      Department of Housing? ( if you cant afford house, you a bum )

      Department of social services? ( no need to look after disadvantaged people they deserve it)

      How many am I right on ?
