Trump Signs Bill Ending Shutdown This Morning
(Washington, DC) — President Trump is signing a bill ending the latest government shutdown this morning. The President tweeted “Just signed Bill. Our Military will now be stronger than ever before. We love and need our Military and gave them everything — and more. First time this has happened in a long time. Also means JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! ” The two-year, bipartisan deal also raises the federal debt ceiling until March of next year. The brief shutdown started when the government ran out of money at midnight. Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul prompted the brief shutdown by delaying the Senate vote for hours in a protest over federal deficits.
