5 Things To Know For Your New Day-Monday January 22nd

via CNN:

The Senate is scheduled to have a key vote at noon Monday on a bill to reopen the government and fund it for three weeks, though it’s unclear if this plan will win over enough Democrats to pass.

The vote will come several hours after the workday for hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal employees was supposed to have begun, and comes three days after the government officially shut down Friday at midnight. Many of the shutdown’s full effects were less visible during the weekend, when much of the federal workforce would typically be off anyway.

The vote was moved from 1 a.m. ET Monday to noon after it became clear Democrats would block the spending bill over disagreements on a variety of issues, most notably what do about young people affected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Who’s affected by a shutdown: By the numbers:

If Congress can’t agree on a plan to fund the federal government before time runs out, a shutdown is expected to affect millions of Americans.

For starters, the continuing resolution proposed by House Republicans would include a six-year reauthorization of the Children’s Health Insurance Program — but if it doesn’t pass the Senate, CHIP will be funded only through March.

And thousands of federal employees will be placed on furlough — meaning they won’t report to work Monday.

Since the last shutdown, the District of Columbia has made changes to its protocol to help protect Washington services from being affected by a federal shutdown. Mayor Muriel Bowser vowed that city services will continue, unlike last time when some city employees, such as garbage collectors, were furloughed.
