ALEX PRETTI'S BIG ADVENTURE WILL MEAN NO AGREEMENT TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT BY JANUARY 31ST

(town hall.com)We were already pinched for time with the winter storm slamming the South and the Mid-Atlantic states, but the recent shooting in Minneapolis involving the Border Patrol is going to derail any hope of avoiding another government shutdown. We’re cooked, folks.

The House surprisingly pulled off a huge win, keeping ICE funding and most of the government through September. ICE funding actually got Democratic support, whereas the bills to fund the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development sailed through on a 341-88 vote.

The problem was the Senate, which could only fast-track these appropriations bills by agreeing to unanimous consent, which was unlikely to happen: some Democrat—or even Rand Paul—was going to object.

Now, with this shooting and intense pressure from the Democratic Party base, there’s no way these bills are going to pass. As of now, this is dead on arrival. Senate Democrats are having a caucus conference call tomorrow evening. Republicans need Democratic support to clear the 60-vote hurdle. They don’t have it.

GRA:Who will give in on this one? Is this P.T.'s "out"? Give up ICE funding to save another shutdown from happening and leave Minnesota? Good theater coming up.
