Congress has narrowly averted a shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security for one week, setting up another funding showdown for next Friday.
Hours before a midnight deadline, the House easily approved a one-week extension of the funding. It required two-thirds of members' support to pass.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi reversed course later Friday night, instructing House Democrats to back the one-week measure.

I’m afraid this affords Boehner another chance to cave.
It gives them a week to fill the airwaves with the truth. Get the public on our side, tell them what Obama and the Democrats want to use their tax dollars for, to fund illegals, to give illegal immigrants all the trappings of citizenship so they can’t be distinguished from citizens.
Tell the world the Dems are only doing this for votes, hundreds of thousands of votes they’re buying with our money.
Why doesn’t the senate need to pass it too?
It originated in the Senate - they did pass it
The Senate already passed it.
I thought close to 50 Pubbies voted “Nay” which fires a shot over Boehner’s bow....
How can a funding bill originate in the senate?
Boner is not going to cave! He’s going to twist the arms of corrupt Republicans and get his clean bill to fully fund Obama’s tyranny.
Mitch took House passed bill 33, which was about healthcare, took all the words out and inserted the wording for the 1 week extension. Mega-weasel parliamentary trickery that's done all the time from both sides.
Kabuki.
Yup.
Thank goodness
Now I can sleep,
I was terrified that at midnight shutdown time all the ISIS terrorists would attack everywhere here with the DHS shutdown.
DADADA
I get so confused. I thought spending bill had to originate in the house.
They used the same move that gave us ACA
Yes - 60 Teaparty conservatives voted against the 1 week and 3 week bills. But Pelosi instructed the RATs to vote FOR the 1 week bill - that’s why I’m wondering why ...
Nancy Pelosi figuratively has not blink since she ah been the leader of the Democrats in the House. Literally, she blink’s ever 4 or 5 seconds. her eyes look like semaphore signals.
Seriously, what we are watching is Kabuki Theater, but with a difference this time. I think this time we are watching the beginning of the end of the Republican majority in Congress. I think this just may the crack that leads to a fracture that leads to a complete break up.
Quote: “It’s (he’s) dead, Jim.”
1- Obama told her he could not afford to furlough employees working on his amnesty plan
2- She blinked, did not want to see employees furloughed
3- Boehner made a deal for her support
I guess we'll know by Friday
Nancy is too Botoxed up to blink.
since obamacare passed and originated from senate. I don’t think they care anymore
