A Democratic shutdown

The Democrats filibustered and the GOP couldn't overcome that.

How they voted

Senate Democrats blocked a spending bill on Friday night that would have prevented a government shutdown.

The procedural motion to advance the bill needed 60 votes to pass.


They're still in DC, today, trying to work something out.

The Dems want DACA, and didn't get it.

And from his tweets this morning it seems Bozo won't offer DACA, nor will the GOP, to get this fixed.

Ryan is going wild in the House, blasting the Democrats with the same accusations of hostage taking and such that the Democrats used against the Republicans when they initiated the wave of shutdowns and near shutdowns in the days of Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich.

On MSNBC.

Social Security and Medicare will continue to operate.
