The Hse tonight will release an interim spending bill which will fund the gov't through March 23. A “Continuing Resolution” by definition funds all programs at existing levels. However, GOPers know they can’t get votes from Dems to pass the bill because there is no DACA deal

Expect GOPers to add defense spending pkg for the entire fiscal yr to sweeten interim spending bill. Will also include health care "extenders" & assistance for community health centers.

Hse GOPers are aiming to pass their stopgap spending bill tomorrow. But it faces a tricky path in the Senate. Attaching the added defense spending to the interim bill is a non-starter in the Senate. Needs 60 yeas. Senate will likely strike that provision & send it back to the Hse

Almost inevitable the Senate will send interim spending plan BACK to the House with changes, probably late Thurs. Dems will be on eastern shore of MD for their retreat. Am told they will have "engines running" ready to bring Dems back for a late Thurs vote to avoid shutdown

Could be an interesting & late Thursday on CapHill to avoid shutdown if Hse/Senate are ping-ponging spending bills back & forth. Gov't funded
through 11:59:59 pm Thursday.
