So unless a funding bill is passed by the end of this month, the federal government could potentially be shut down. That’s at least what is being said.
The federal government will shut down in less than a month unless a funding bill is passed by Sept. 30. That’s only 16 legislative days away (and even fewer for the House) under the current schedule. The House and Senate are in completely different universes when it comes to how…

This is going to spawn more pointless political theater that I don’t care about.
Hopefully the federal government is permanently shut down but it is doubtful that this will happen. They’ll probably cram some bullshit bill through that Kevin McCarthy will pretend to oppose but ultimately agree to approve.
