Congress is broken — and the proof is in the timestamps. Senators are routinely voting past 3 a.m., half-asleep, on issues that affect millions of Americans. Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer calls it flatly: "The dysfunction is getting worse." In March, the Senate passed a DHS funding bill at 2 a.m. — only for House members who were literally asleep to wake up and reject it. The department remains unfunded. Leaders are governing by exhaustion, forcing votes in the dead of night to override objections. This isn't democracy — it's survival mode. https://apnews.com/article/congress-house-senate-overnight-votes-2641c2e758b1dd26eb6758bd00a8c0ac

He's bluffing. Stay strong Chuck!
The White House has warned federal agencies to prepare for mass firings if Congress fails to reach a funding deal before next Wednesday, the deadline to avoid a government shutdown. In a memo from the Office of Management and Budget, agencies without alternative funding sources—and “not consistent with the President’s priorities”—were told to consider issuing reduction-in-force notices to employees. While past shutdowns led to temporary furloughs, this memo suggests permanent job losses could be on the table, raising the stakes as Congress negotiates a budget. The move is seen as added pressure, especially on Democrats, to make a deal to keep the government open. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/25/trump-government-shutdown-layoffs-omb.html #GovernmentShutdown #FederalJobs #Congress #WhiteHouse #BudgetCrisis
