Never what I want.
[Regnum] The work was partially suspended by the US federal government due to the cessation of funding reported this on March 23.

It is clarified that the suspension of work (shutdown) of government departments at the federal level occurred at 00:01 on March 23 (07:01 Moscow time).

Moreover, the day before, on March 22, the US House of Representatives approved a series of amendments to the bill providing for the allocation of funds in the amount of about $1.2 trillion. The funds are planned to be used for the work of the main part of federal departments until the end of the 2024 fiscal year (ends in the United States on September 30).

The bill was submitted to the Senate, which had to vote on the document before midnight, before the bill was signed by US President Joseph Biden. But the vote on the bill did not take place due to Republican objections to some amendments.

Democratic Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer of New York clarified that during the debate it was possible to reach agreement on the bill. It is expected that voting on the document will take place in the near future.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that US President Biden on March 1 signed a temporary bill to extend government funding. The law provides for the extension of funding for some federal departments until March 8, others until March 22.

The US House of Representatives on February 29 approved a bill on short-term funding to avoid a federal government shutdown. The document was supported by 320 members of the lower house of Congress, 99 people voted against. The federal government's current temporary funding limits were set to expire on March 1 and March 8.

#1 This was basically a continuing resolution bill with some additions. It passed 74-24 in Senate and 286-134 in House (not what the Regnum says). Biden signed it 23 March about noon.

The bill does not include augmented funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. That will have to done in a separate bill (or 3 separate bills).

#2 A fair number of people will be particularly upset that one of the provisions of this bill supports $3.5B for a new FBI HQ.

#4 The partial shutdown was early am on a Saturday and only affected agencies that don't work on Saturday. By noon on Saturday, Biden had signed the bill and the shutdown was over. Agencies that require work on Saturday were not shut down.

#6 Partial funding will not decrease their level of hatred for us. They hate us for free.
