Shutdown Day 43: THE END … for now. The House passed the bill by a vote of 222-209, and POTUS is expected to sign at 9:45PM ET. The Senate amendment version includes a minibus of 3 appropriations bills and an extension of the CR through January 30, 2026, among other provisions.

It sounds like there may be a deal emerging in the Senate. Dem caucus to convene at 5PM. Also hearing there may be a RIFs component. But then the House has to get back to town amidst significant flight cancellations and delays.

Shutdown Day 36: Longest lapse in appropriations in U.S. history. Some signs of movement: a) ~3-hour Senate Democrats lunch yesterday and b) POTUS to host Senate Republicans at the WH today to discuss reopen. (1/3)

Shutdown Day 32: Big milestone today as SNAP benefits pause and many Americans learn about substantial health insurance cost increases for 2026. Members of both parties have been active with statements and social media on both topics (and more) — with no assured end in sight.

Shutdown Day 24: Happy Friday to all who celebrate! House GOP just announced votes are canceled on Monday, as there's no clear pathway to ending the shutdown.

🧵 Shutdown Week Resources -- Day 5
Generalized LLMs have gotten somewhat better about sourcing. But Fortune 500 and Members of Congress don't want Reddit citations in their memos and speeches. We ground using 24/7/365-updated data from dozens of sources. (1/7)

🌴 Shutdown Day 22: The saga continues. Thankfully, articleOne (of which PolicyStream is one component) helps you stay informed 24/7, so you can put the remote down and keep catching up on all the work that's piled up since August recess.
🧵 Today's feature is Ellipsis (Live Alerts)! From one-person communications shops to Fortune 500 companies with in-house lobbying teams and hired guns alike, there's no way to maintain complete situational awareness. Or there wasn't -- until now. (1/5)

Shutdown Resources Week continues! This morning, @articleone.bsky.social covers the Reader module. Perfect for reading H.R. 5371 -- or any other bill. With Digest enrichment, summaries stay fresh, & your organization can view section-by-section impact analysis that's refreshed whenever you need it.
🧵 Today's feature is Reader! Tired of short CRS summaries or AI tools that “guess” what a bill means? Reader breaks down every section of legislation in 3 precise formats -- Original, Plain English, & Digest -- all fully navigable w/a dynamic table of contents & side-by-side view. (1/5)

Shutdown Day 20: It continues! The Senate is due back mid-afternoon today; the House remains dark until further notice. There have been some murmurs of willingness by moderate Rs in both chambers to explore ACA subsidy extensions, and early November off-ramps have been mentioned.

Shutdown Day 7: The Senate convenes at 10AM ET. Of note, one of the Democrats that had been voting with the majority has hinted they may switch to "no" if no progress on healthcare is made -- meaning we may be one step further from passage than just a few days ago.

Shutdown Day 6: House is out all week (with 48 hours’ notice required should Members need to return for a vote). Senate is in, at least for now, and intends to continue bringing both bills up to see if vote margins change. Going to be an interesting week!

🧵 Shutdown Day 3: the Senate convenes at 11:30AM ET to resume deliberations, with another vote on the House-passed CR (H.R. 5371) expected. Barring surprises, this will likely fail. No votes scheduled this weekend, so the shutdown continues to next week -- at least!

🧵 Shutdown Day 1: the House remains in recess, and the Senate will convene at the top of the hour to resume deliberations. The House-passed extension through November 21 (H.R. 5371) failed in the Senate by a vote of 55-45 yesterday. They will try to pass it again.

Just four hours away from a shutdown. Multiple last-minute efforts to temporarily keep government open failed in the Senate. ICYMI, the blame-game messaging war started days ago, but it’s sure to ramp up as we pass midnight.
