With negotiations stalled, we expect the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate appropriations panels to meet this afternoon at 3:30 pm et, once lawmakers get back into town. The key here now is avoiding a Saturday, not so much forging a deal on border security.

With no agreement, the sides may have to approve an interim spending bill (known as a CR, short for “Continuing Resolution) to fund the government. Such a plan simply re-ups all spending at current levels.

It’s possible appropriators could split the appra pkg - taking the six spending bills where there is agreement and moving them as “new” bills – and simply doing a CR for DHS. But, a CR for all bills is bad for Democrats. They scored a lot of domestic policy wins in those measures

A CR for everything means Democrats leave money for their programs on the table. This could be an incentive for Democrats to deal.

But Democrats would happily take six new bills glommed together as a “minibus” and a CR simply renewing all old DHS funding at current levels.

Then again, the water is fouled so badly that the only option may be a short-term CR for everything or even a long-term CR for the entire fiscal year, ending September 30.

Fox is told the President is willing to do a CR, both short term and long term.
