WASHINGTON (AP) — It's only a temporary truce, but Congress has voted to end a 16-day government shutdown and to raise the government's borrowing limit.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Ted Cruz says he won't delay a vote on a bipartisan budget deal that will reopen the government and avoid a financial default.
According to Fox News, a tentative deal to end the partial government shutdown has been reached by Senate negotiators that will raise the debt ceiling and end the government shutdown.
Rush Limbaugh said that he has been trying to put his finger on where we are on what's going on in Washington with the government shutdown and debt limit. Rush told the audience he has confirmed what is going on, and it's about the Republican attitude, and it's so unnecessary. It's so defeatist.
The AMBER Alert website was taken off line from Friday, October 4 until 10 a.m. Monday due to the Government Shutdown.
According to New York Daily News, the Justice Department put the site back online because of complaints suggesting that the shutdown had forced closure of notification system.
At 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 1, the US government shut down. In addition to some 800,000 federal employees being furloughed and upwards of a million more being asked to work without pay, several government websites will go dark or not be updated during the shutdown.
