As the deadline for a government shutdown looms, House Democrats are employing a series of unusual tactics to keep the government running. Despite their last-minute funding proposal failing to gain traction, they are rallying at the Capitol in a final attempt to alter the spending bill. Some Democratic representatives, including Maxine Waters, emphasize the importance of keeping the government open, while others are prepared to fight to protect Obamacare perks amid the looming shutdown. The situation has led to chaotic scenes in Congress, with Democrats expressing their frustration after being blocked from forcing a vote to maintain government operations. With time running out, they plan to increase their messaging efforts while tensions escalate on the House floor.
