Show Notes
September 20, 2025; 8am: The Senate recently rejected dueling Republican and Democratic bills that would have kept the government funded on a short-term basis, and now there are only 10 days left until the October 1st deadline. Party leaders on both sides of the aisle are blaming each other, claiming the other side isn’t willing to negotiate. Congress will be in recess next week and the Senate will only have two days to agree on a plan when they come back. Former Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young joins “The Weekend” to discuss.
