As members of the House GOP continue to debate spending bills, the October 1st government shutdown deadline draws near. With a deal no where in sight, a government shutdown seems inevitable with Senator Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, telling Yahoo Finance Live that the 'odds of a shutdown are increasing.' 'Adult, modern, mature governments should not be shutting down,' Merkley says. When it comes to who would be to blame for a shutdown, Merkley points the finger at 'Kevin McCarthy and the MAGA Right.' When asked if there was a way out of future shutdowns Merkley outlined his vision for a more simple, streamlined process to vote on spending bills and that with certain adjustments 'we could do an appropriation bill a day,' thus avoiding 'extensive time delays that exist in the current rule.'

That’s until the building and its residents were dragged away by the deadly floods of September 10.

They told me to check with the Red Crescent and the bodies, so I went to the Red Crescent and asked about the list of names for the missing people. I found nothing so I kept searching and when I felt desperate, I started searching among the names of the dead, but I also haven’t found his name.
