Full speed ahead to stop a government shutdown and a reversal by some Democrats, the Senate likely approving later today a continuing Resolution funding the government till the end of the fiscal year. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says, still hold his nose and support it.
The CR is a bad bill, but as bad as the CR is, I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.
Majority Leader John Thune meantime, it's promising changes will come.
Another Continuing Resolution, another CR was nobody's first choice. But I can tell you this, the next time the Senate it's on an appropriation bill, it won't be on the eve of another shutdown.

Fitchburg right now is at fifty six, but we're hanging at forty six in Boston. As we head into the evening, thirty six to forty. For the low temperatures, we will have clouds around and some patche fog,
especially near the coast. Tomorrow, we'll start with clouds, we'll break for some afternoon sunshine and we will get milder temperature make a run well into the fifties. In fact, we could hit sixty in a few spots, but those spots won't be on the Capan Islands upper forties. That's it there Tomorrow mainly cloudy Tomorrow night a low forty six, and then on Sunday we'll start out with clouds and a wind that'll start picking up and whipping around, but
we should stay dry through much of the day. Some rain we'll get in here later on in the day, certainly into the evening, with some of it becoming heavy. Temperatures on Sunday into the upper sixties and the warmest spots, and we'll be near sixty on Monday, but we'll keep the rain around, maybe a couple thunderstorms too, and some flooding downpours possible. Right now forty six in Boston, I'll forget about carrying around a handful of quarters to feed

It's kind of hard to say the least.
Now, this posh parking plaza is listed as fully staffed. He'll refuel your car, wash it, and get it for you. For people like Carmene can't even fathom that lifestyle.
For that amount of money, you can buy a big house with three bedrooms.
Maybe if I could bargain that spot down to seventy five bucks, I might have a shot.
Time's that by ten thousand? Yeah?
I don't think so. From my meter at Spot by the Common. Jim mcka WBZ Boston's news radio, Hey, reminder to mind your manners and your drinking.
