House Democrats will propose a two-part plan to reopen the federal government once they take power on Thursday, according to multiple Democratic aides. The proposal, however, wont provide President Donald Trump with his much sought-after border money boost.
Their plan would fund the Department of Homeland Security until Feb. 8, and all other closed agencies such as Transportation, Commerce and Agriculture for the rest of the fiscal year through Sept. 30.
Democrats intend to vote on the plan Thursday, the same day they officially wrest control of the House from Republicans. But the Senate wont accept the measures absent an unlikely presidential endorsement.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has made clear that the chamber will only vote on a bill that has Trumps full support. Don Stewart, a spokesman for McConnell, reiterated that stance when asked about Pelosis plans on Monday.
Its simple: The Senate is not going to send something to the president that he wont sign Stewart said.

Democrats in the House come face to face with reality.
Democrats big plans face two major problems, the Senate and the President. Other than that, they are on easy street!
Reality sucks.
“Why did it take four people to write something everyone knew yesterday?”
Common Core journalism.
In the old days ‘journalists’ had half a brain. These days it’s down to a quarter of a brain.
Even that will be cut in half by summer.
This is why you’ve seen articles about abolishing the Senate, how the Senate is racist, and it’s not fair that Wyoming has the same number of Senators as California.
Try doing this and the states will revolt.
The Stupid Party is still Gutless. Republican lawmakers should call out the anti-national-security democrat party by accusing them in being complicit is drug smuggling, rape and murder. Nope. Everyone tiptoes around reality and political correctness.
Someone needs to bitchslap that cuck into reality!
Might be just what this country needs to wake the f up?!?!?
I really don’t see how going fwd this country survives as the founders intended? The libertards have several generations of welfare state and anti capitalism, hate “rich” people attitudes behind them. Add to it the racist/sexism angle along w the breakdown of moral Christian values, and you have a major CF going fwd for patriotic conservatives.
Older folks are dying off and newer generations generally want taken care of. I don’t see a good ending here?
Hope I’m wrong!

The Ministry of Propaganda must be getting them cheaper by the dozen.
You are too generous assigning ‘journalists’ brains.
Good.
Pelosi and Schumers offices havent heard from affected workers yet - once that starts, its going to be hard for the party of no not to negotiate.
Congress is experiencing a spending Jones. The pain will eventually provide Trump with the paltry 5 billion.
Which will accomplish exactly what?
These people should be impeached for abuse of office.
Shirley, you jest!
Democrats haven't faced reality in nearly a century.
