Congress hurtles toward shutdown

The Democrats are under the impression that they Are going to win on DACA Without negotiation . That is NOT going to happen . A shutdown by the Democrats and Renegade Republicans is very very possible. One of those times to set in some cash and groceries, never a bad idea to have on hand, anyway.
CONGRESS
Congress hurtles toward shutdown
The House passed a bill to keep the government funded for another four weeks, but prospects in the Senate look dim.
Congress is careening toward the first shutdown in more than four years, with Republicans and Democrats at a seemingly intractable impasse over government funding and the fates of young immigrants facing deportation.
Though House Republicans voted Thursday night to keep the government open, the real drama is in the closely divided Senate, where it's unclear what, if anything, can clear the chamber's supermajority threshold. The Senate couldn't even agree on holding a vote on Thursday night, adjourning after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spurned Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's request to hold a vote and, assuming it failed, restart bipartisan negotiations on immigration and government spending levels.
