If there’s no funding bill signed by tomorrow, it’ll be the first time a party that has majorities in both the House and Senate and White House shuts down its government.The Reagan, Clinton and Obama shutdowns all happened with a majority opposition in congress.
They may not even be able to get to 50 GOP votes in the senate at this point.

The Republicans can pass a bill with a huge bipartisan majority right now if they want to include a DACA fix and CHIP funding. It’s there, waiting for them. The public supports it. It’s dead easy.

It’s all up to the leadership and that clownshow in the White House.
