38 Republicans voted no on the CR bill. 9 house Republicans did not vote. The bill did not pass. Looks like we have a government shutdown, folks.

I would hope that the Speaker would refuse to adjourn Congress until there is a bill acceptable to the people agreed and passed to the Senate. Since ‘everyone knows’ the Senate will break and a supermajority would be needed to defeat the presidential veto, most dems and Rinos would just go home.
