WE ARE INTO THE THIRD WEEK OF THE SHUTDOWN OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THE U.S. SENATE HAS FAILED TO PASS EITHER A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC VERSION OF A MEASURE TO FUND AND REOPEN SEVERAL SERVICES AND AGENCIES.

RICKSCHU4 OC…….A HYPOCRITE. :18

RICKETTS SAYS DESPITE THE SHUTDOWN, SENATE REPUBLICANS WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM 107 QUALIFIED NOMINEES, INCLUDING LESLEY WOODS, THE U.S. ATTORNEY FOR NEBRASKA.

THEY ALSO PASSED A NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT.”
