The latest on a government shutdown: Today is the last day for Congress to fund the government. A shutdown will begin at 12:01 a.m. if they do not act. House Republicans failed to pass their short-term spending bill on Thursday in an embarrassing defeat that makes a shutdown more likely. The Senate is still working on a bipartisan bill to keep the government open through Nov. 17. That is expected to pass overwhelmingly, but some Republican opposition means it is unlikely to pass until after the deadline. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., suggested Friday night that he might be open to the Senate’s bill, but only if they strip out funding for Ukraine. The Senate returns at noon today. No votes are scheduled in the House, but members have been advised to be on Capitol Hill.
Just so everyone is aware, we have already budgeted the Ukrainian money for this year, and the military will not be shutting down with the rest of our government. This shutdown will not interfere with Ukrainian aide in any large way (it might in small, hard to predict ways) unless it drags on for a very long time.
Plus, Biden could just divert any of the military funds he wants towards Ukraine.
Trump did it for his wall when the 4 government shutdowns under his watch didn’t work in getting the money. Just vaughly say it’s for national security and go golfing.
Look at the poster here - spamming various links to create noise and confusion.
I do not think he is a pro-Russian voice, but merely shares news that he thinks is relevant. He has been critical of Russia in the past.
I just wanted to drop my clarification to make sure this article didn’t worry anyone who has been out of the loop for a bit.
i m totally Pro Ukrainian, just trying to share information, this war in fought with weapons in the front lines, with logistics by the generals and the information in the rest of the world, and there are loads of misinformation going on, what i do, is i just share some news so people can think apart from that, thank you all, i m new, just arrived from Reddit, but i like this loveforUkraine
So it’s normal for an individual to be able to post about 1,500 links in less than 24hrs? I’m not saying this is a pro-russian voice - the opinion is hardly the problem. That’s their game - create such noise so as to make the truth inaccessible. I’m saying this is a troll, and not an authentic member of the community trying to discuss anything.

I’m not making these comments directed at you, but so the community can drill down and draw their own conclusions. 38 posts in this community, but 1,428 in general in less than 24hrs of “being new”. Healthy skepticism is important, same as coming to fact-based conclusions.
your account name is 19 hours old, see i know i made 38 posts, know nothing about 1428 in general, whats that, who do i see that ;) and thanks for the Kyiv independent video, that was nice, i do like those guys
I’m here to contribute to the discussion, not farm karma using American politics stories. If this post is a call to action of any Americans here that have not done so, yet - I understand. Otherwise, it still comes off, to me, as a sensationalization/clickbait of something very few American voter have practical control over.
Karma? US politics will have a exponential result in the outcome of the Ukrainian war, I m not interested in Karma, i m interested in the safety of the people fighting in Ukraine and the safe heaven that is Europe, and we all depend on Politics on the US, I kind of don’t have more conversation with pro Russians to waste time having discussion about the “sex of angels” so i try to connect dots and information and leave it for the reader to take a time to reed it and make up his ideas about the subject, now if you don’t think USA politics are connected with the outcome of war in Ukraine, my dear friend i have a tall bridge to sale to you
I can see why a person might think that due to the high level of activity, but I am just not so sure. Personally I am willing to continue to just observe until it is easier to tell.
