Government shutdown continues as Senate fails to advance GOP bill and Democrat gives 22-hour speech
The Senate failed to advance the House-passed funding bill that would end the government shutdown for the 12th time on Wednesday, following a marathon speech by Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn signed onto bill to pay for food assistance for 42 million Americans until Congress can reach a deal to open the government.
Senate Chaplain Barry Black used his opening prayer to draw lawmakers' attention to the ongoing government shutdown and call for its end. He said he hoped those in the chamber would remember that there are "no gold medals given" for breaking the record for longest shutdown.
BOSTON ― Unhappy with what he views as a political blame game being spread by taxpayer-funded state communications, state Sen. Ryan Fattman shut down the Senate’s session after just a few minutes Monday, Oct. 27, and suggested he might do the same Oct. 30 unless the messaging changes.
The Senate will return on Monday having last week failed to advance bill that would reopen the government until Nov. 21. The House remains out of session this week.
