he Senate on Thursday night recessed for a four-day weekend without passing a continuing resolution that would reopen the federal government, scheduling the next vote to take place next Tuesday.
The Senate attempted to advance the House-passed continuing resolution earlier Thursday, but failed to get the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster. It failed in a 54-45 split, marking the seventh time it did not meet the threshold.
The upper chamber did pass its version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which included votes on more than a dozen amendments, according to The Hill.
The departure comes after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated that the shutdown is a good thing for Democrats, indicating it paints Republicans in a bad light. However, the comment has been slammed by conservatives.

Donks have No Kings rallys scheduled for next week and would never consider caving prior...couldn’t take the heat...
...but after, when checks stop...they’ll cave then...enough to get 60 votes. Schumer won’t, can’t, but no one is following him any longer .
Schumer seems to think that real eyeglasses help him to see better.
We have had beautiful bright blue skies for the past ten days.
I am really beginning to miss those .gov chemtrails.
Lol.
Me too! And guess who won’t be “going on holiday”? President Donald J. Trump!
Let him cook
Donks have No Kings rallys scheduled for next week
I don’t understand the ‘No Kings’ after the Biden and Obama administrations were cheered on by the left. The abused all of Government, including the intelligence branches, to do political spying and go after Trump and Conservatives. They love Kings, and not Democracy.
It isn't. It never does.
make them actually stand up there and read Dr. seuss or something.
Indeed. Schumer would probably read "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Daddy's Boyfriend" ...
Holiday = vacation.
