Senate Democrats on Monday rejected a GOP-led stopgap funding bill for the 11th time as the shutdown heads into its fourth week.

Senators voted 50-43 on the House-passed bill, which would fund the government through Nov. 21. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine were the only senators who broke rank to vote to advance the bill. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) did not vote.

Realistically any deal should at a minimum require the president actually follow the law. If that is too high a bar for the conservatives to clear then what is the point of working with them?

Yeah, I love their "Just reopen the government and we'll vote on what you want." lie. Said as if they haven't just been letting Trump illegally say no to any funding he doesn't like. Why should they fund anything if he can just turn around and yoink the money after they've appropriated it.

Any deal should involve a bullet to his head
