A day after Democratic Senators reached a deal with their Republican counterparts in the Senate to end the longest government shutdown in history, a vote on the agreement was held up by a provision in the bill that would ban the unregulated sale of hemp-based or derived products. The provision relates to funding for the Department of Agriculture, and was flagged by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, home to a burgeoning hemp industry.

Ingraham shared a headline from Politico on Monday night that read, Rand Paul wants hemp vote to speed up shutdown endgame. She captioned the story with her own words, adding, Rand Paul wants to hold things up in the Senate so more Americans can get buzzed on hemp-products. Ingraham's apparent dig at Paul, who has long been a thorn in the side of President Donald Trump on foreign policy and a few other issues, led to a response from the Kentucky Senator.

"He did not have the votes,"

Massie expressed outrage on social media about his invitation to the annual White House picnic being revoked, criticizing Trump's staff for their actions as 'low class.'

If you have teenage children and you gave them a credit card and they maxed out $2,000 on booze and gambling, would you give them a bigger credit line or a smaller credit line?

I like the bill's tax cuts... I wish they were permanent. If that's all the bill was, I'm all in for that.
