• The Senate voted 81-18 to break the filibuster and reopen the government.

• Here is the bipartisan group that reached the deal..

• Democrats had debated whether to trust Senator Mitch McConnell’s word.

• The House will have to vote on any measure the Senate passes before the government officially reopens.

“Bipartisan” as in, “We won’t get reelected if this crap continues”.

Man chin and McCaskel as spokespeople, tells you everything you need to know.

“Here is the bipartisan group that reached the deal”

Looks like a gang of swamp critters to me.

Now that is LEADERSHP!!

[JewishRighter]

Notice how breathlessly they are reporting who is involved but not what is in the deal?

[Politically Correct]

Flake and Collins saving the Demoncrats bacon again.

Only if there are changes to what came over from the House.

The media seems obsessed over the “shutdown.” I’m not. Just wish it would all shut down for a long time.

Yeh the Dems were breaking their legs rushing to grab the lifeline McConnell finally threw overboard. LOL!

[MGunny]

Let’s keep a close on Cecil Turtle. I don’t trust this guy at all. Probably made some DACA deal with CHUCK U. They all suck!

[trebb]

Schumer goes spelunking....loved his smarmy screed as he caved and claimed to have promises that weren’t made in the form he intimated...

[DarthVader]

Translation = many Democrats caved because their poll numbers were tanking badly. That is all!

It's drama, I suppose, although I am leaning toward the theory that it served as cover for the very real problems their party is going to have with the IG memo. That isn't going away, and the "illegals over soldiers" meme was starting to bite with November looming. Expect a sudden wave of patriotism.

Rand Paul suggested precisely this plan Sunday AM.

The deal is open discussion on immigration and a vote by Feb 8 on a cobbled bill. The Prez said he will sign whatever the Congress agree to.

[DoodleDawg]

Tester voted no? He must not be sweating his opponent in 2018 then.
