The House is prepared to pass the legislation later Wednesday and send it to President Trumps desk. The presidents support for the bill has been in question, as it does not include the funding increase Trump has requested for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The legislation funding the government expires at the end of Sunday, setting up the government for a partial shutdown absent action from Trump and Congress.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

(23,099 posts)Or is Ryan just trying to buy some time to convince the asshole who stole the presidency to not torpedo their chances in the mid-terms.
OTOH, maybe drumpf has russian assurances that their hacking will be even deeper so they can survive a real 6% loss and show as winning in the final published totals so knows he can do what he wants with no repercussions?
