⏱️ Shutdown Clock
*Cue the 'Jeopardy!' theme song*:
Government funding expires in *checks calendar* three days and there is still no public text of the bill.
First, the text of the continuing resolution (CR) was promised Sunday. ❌
Then, it was expected it to come Monday. Everyone refreshed their X feeds for news of the CR. At one point Monday afternoon, it was expected “within an hour.” ❌
Monday night, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he expected text that evening. Nope. ❌
Now, we’re three days away from a government shutdown … and there’s *still* no CR text.
