Congress has until the end of this Friday to pass legislation needed to keep the government open or the federal government will once again shut down.
They have been working feverishly on the needed legislation to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year, which ends on September 30. However, they have not yet reached an agreement, so the guessing is that if they cannot reach an agreement by the end of tomorrow (Tuesday), they will have to pass another short-term Concurrent Resolution to keep the doors open until they do so.
It is not likely the government down will shut down, especially in an election year, but they are cutting it very close.
