5 days agoHouse Republicans kvetch anew about DHS funding plan
House members oppose DHS funding bill without immigration enforcement funding, complicating bipartisan efforts.
Shutshow: The US Senate passed a measure last night that could end the 42-day-long government shutdown. Seven Democrats and one independent joined Republicans to put the deal over the finish line.
