Quiver AI Summary
Speaker Mike Johnson addressed the ongoing government shutdown during appearances on NBC's Meet the Press and CBS's Face the Nation.

Johnson emphasized that the House passed a continuing resolution to fund the government, presenting it as a bipartisan effort. He criticized Senate Democrats for linking the September funding deadline to unrelated December policy issues and claimed that their actions are motivated by internal party politics and fears of leftist challengers.
