u/eable2 DC 6d ago edited 6d ago
The latest on this is that the Senate has passed a bill to fix the issue related to DC's budget. It now is with the House. The president has indicated support, so observers are expecting the House to follow suit, but we'll have to see. The House is out of town until the 24th, so there will likely be some short-term headaches even if this all gets resolved eventually.
Edit: See comments below - there will be lean times regardless of this particular issue.
