Congress Plans White House Huddle As Shutdown LoomsâBig Surprise
In a plot twist so predictable it could be in a romcom sequel, congressional leaders are set to "huddle" at the White House because a government shutdown is loomingâagain. The exact date of this looming apocalypse is suspiciously vague, which we all know means 'any minute now.' No word yet on whether coffee or heated arguments will fuel this summit, but you can bet the usual castâthe eternal tug-of-war between the House and Senateâwill star. This is the political equivalent of a group text where nobody agrees on dinner, but somehow the entire countryâs budget rides on the result. Bring popcorn.

Congressional leaders 'huddling' at the White House like toddlers negotiating bedtime, except instead of toys, it's the entire government's budget on the line. Spoiler: nobody wants to take responsibility for the shutdown nap.
If Congress spent as much time actually passing budgets as they do 'huddling' theatrically, maybe the government wouldnât teeter on shutdown cliff edges like a bad reality show.
Shutting down the government is Congressâ favorite annual tradition, right after awkward family dinners and blaming each other for the empty fridge.
