The Senate has unanimously passed a hard-fought measure to reopen shuttered government agencies for three weeks, ending a five-week partial shutdown sparked by President Donald Trump’s demands for immediate money to build his long-sought border wall.
The measure passed the Senate by voice vote Friday hours after Trump relented. It now goes to the House, which is expected to quickly pass the measure and send it to the White House for Trump’s signature.

I thought the House was on a 3 day weekend.
Goodbye America, it was great while it lasted.
GOPeers continue to support an open border.
Unless they call them all back in; this will have to wait till Monday.
“Trump relented”.

They spelled CAVED wrong.
Trump doesn’t cave. He repositions.
It's honestly sad to watch peace depart the US.
It’s not a retreat, we’re advancing in a different direction!
Repositions? Really? He caved..big time. He just sold out his base and secured the presidency for whomever the dems decide to let rule over us in the next election. This is the biggest mistake he could have made and it ensures that the name of Trump will live in infamy.
The anti-Trump hysterics here on these threads are hilarious, and also sad.
If the Dems don’t get their act together in the next three weeks, we’ll have an emergency declaration and the military will build the wall. That’s not ‘caving’.
I take the man at his word.
I’m as disappointed as anyone, but he has options. Let’s see how he plays his hand.
Exactly.
So many of you pearl clutching Freepers have convinced yourselves Donald Trump was all talk, he caved and the country is over! I just have to ask what the f**k have you people seen from Trump the last three and a half years that makes you think he’s a coward and surrendered? You also believe that he gave up to Nancy Pelosi? Seriously folks?! I know some of you like to accuse us strong defenders of this president as being blind worshippers! No, we just haven’t seen a person with an R by their name who has fought this hard and tough against the Dems and the establishment Republicans. I think we’ve seen enough to know this man fights! He may have taken an eight count today, but he’s still standing. The fight is still on! Don’t give up on this man!
Duck lips Schmoozer and Nasty Nan need those smirks slapped off their mugs. Damn. Lost another one to the Nazis. Mom and Dad are spinning in their graves.
I am tired of the people throwing President Trump under the bus with this (and probably every time in the last two years that they were disappointed).
Guess people want a politician instead who won’t even try to fulfill promises or they regret not voting for Hillary.
Gen. Washington didn’t win every battle....
It’s three weeks, and families are getting paid. Just have to wait to see what happens.
If you are going to vote for a Democrat after all the President has done for us thus far, your a sniveling little weasel surrender monkey.
The President isn’t a dictator. He can’t spend money without Congress. Blame Congress.
He’s made clear he will use his emergency powers if they don’t give him the money in 3 weeks.
Your surrending now. That’s because you weren’t really with him anyway.
Myth Romney loves you.
Patience, friend. President Trump will prevail.
