Senate Democrats have blocked a Republican bill that would have extended federal funding for seven weeks, with the final tally coming in at 55-45, short of the 60 votes needed to break the filibuster. This puts the government on a fast track toward its first shutdown in nearly seven years, all because Democrats decided now was the time to dig in their heels.In Other News
The Republican bill was straightforward, a clean funding extension that should have sailed through without drama. But Democrats refused to play ball unless Republicans agreed to negotiate on extending Obamacare subsidies and other Democratic priorities. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Republicans of trying to bully his party by refusing to haggle over an extension of health care benefits.
President Trump made it clear he wouldn't be negotiating, calling the Republican bill stripped down and noncontroversial. He also didn't mince words about potential consequences, threatening to cut vast numbers of people, programs, and things Democrats like if they forced a shutdown. Both parties planted their flags and refused to budge, with Democrats insisting on extending Obamacare subsidies that would essentially stick taxpayers with the bill for healthcare for illegal immigrants. That's the hill they chose to die on.
