Many friends sent me screenshots asking, didn’t the Senate already pass the temporary funding to avoid the shutdown? Please read carefully, that was the Senate. The House of Representatives also needs to approve it. The House doesn’t start work until Monday afternoon, so the earliest it can pass is Monday evening. But the actual shutdown starts from early Saturday morning. It’s just that the weekend itself isn’t a working period, plus half a day to a full day on Monday. So in reality, the shutdown will last at least two days.
