Looks like the current House CR is the only deal in town. Members were told no new votes are expected in the House tonight.

Investing, I was on conf call earlier this evening where this was discussed. However, since then it appears that State and now DOI are following normal shutdown procedures.

Cloture voted has started and the Ns should carry it.

It is going to be hard to spin this, the House passed it and then it will get more "Y" than "N" votes in the Senate but not 60. Good luck with all that.

It needs 60 Y, McConnell will vote N, so final total will be 50-49

ETA: Unless they work out some last second deal that gets people to change votes.

Rumor is that Schumer has cracked and will accept a "shorter" CR. So something longer than 2 weeks but shorter than 4. Graham has already said that, while he won't vote for 4 weeks, he would consider voting for a 3 week CR. You can't make this shite up
