Will we have a government in four days? Well, we don't know for sure yet, but it's not looking great. So here's where we stand at the moment with the

government shutdown. The Senate is moving forward with their bipartisan plan to fund the government until the middle of November.

They would also add $6 billion of funding for Ukraine and $6 billion for emergency relief here in America.

And if the Senate is able to get the bill to the House floor by

this weekend, it could put Republicans in a tough situation. And here's why. It's pretty likely

that every Democrat in the House will support the Senate's bipartisan funding bill to keep the

government operational. So only a few center-leaning Republicans would need to break ranks with their peers in order to get

this thing signed. Meanwhile, the far-right-leaning members of the House have a plan of their own. Instead of

passing one bill to keep the government working until at least November, which would then give them

time to sign a real budget, they want to vote on every single spending bill individually,

meaning they'd need to draft and vote on at least 12 bills to fund each specific part of

the federal government. And doing all of that in the next three days, that's basically

impossible because you would actually need 24 total votes when you consider that the House and the Senate each need to pass the bill.
