I've no solutions.

Democracy ("Republic" for the pedants) 'Merica!

Shutdown averted, with minutes to spare.

I haven't seen media reports as to the exact provenance of the bill, not clear if it was HR3935 (minus the FAA language), or a new bill. Sounds like the house voted first, so that would be imply a new clean-slate bill, leaving HR3935 still on the back burner.

The FAA was also funded, along with most of government, through mid-Nov. That's good, I'm doing some personal travel next week.

OOfff is “ok”, not ANYWHERE near FADEC’s level.

... and Nancy and Steny just got kicked out of their second offices (a perk) for supporting the Crazy 8 to throw out Kevin.

This is going to be fun to watch. We probably won't have a House speaker by the time this 45 day extension expires, much less a path to stop a government shutdown next time around. Welcome to total gridlock.

But will we learn? Just glad ATC is getting paid.
