Senate back at 11 am et. No deal locked in yet to do procedural vote to end debate on Hse-passed CR. By rule, it could happen at 1 am et Sat unless there is a deal. Gov’t funded thru 11:59:59 pm et tonight


Senate needs 60 yeas to end debate on interim spending bill. Maximum of 47 GOP yeas. 3 noes: Paul, Graham, Flake. Rounds is now a yea. McCain is out. Need 13 Dem yeas? Tall order

Trump GOP need to be taught a lesson: they cant push Dems around

Re: Shutdown Showdown Thread 1-19-18
 

Reread it. There is a period after the 'e' in Flake. Meaning the sentence concluded, which was introduced by the word noes. In other words, to answer your question: based on the above, they are not yeays.

@JenniferJJacobs
TRUMP PLANS TO STAY IN DC until Senate passes stopgap spending bill, so he can sign it before leaving for Mar-a-Lago, a White House source tells @margarettalev. Tentative plan is for Trump to depart TOMORROW MORNING for Florida. (Then he can still make big party Saturday.)


Make a deal Trump!
