It's now only a matter of time before the government shutdown is over, probably later this week. The Senate broke a filibuster on a new GOP spending package which will end the shutdown. The vote was 60 to 40. The Senate needed all 60 of those yeas to break the filibuster. 52 Republicans and eight Democrats teamed up to greenlight the bill. The bill funds the government through late January. Three other parts of the government are funded through September. Most Democrats held out for a deal to offset spiking health care costs, but they never got anything ironclad. The Senate likely passes the bill later this week.
