Senate breaks budget impasse, paving way for government to reopen
Roughly 60 hours after the federal government first shut down, a bipartisan group of negotiators in the Senate reached a breakthrough to reopen the government by uniting Republican and Democratic leaders in an agreement on immigration and spending.

The Senate headed toward overwhelming passage of a short-term spending bill later in the day Monday after voting to end debate by a vote of 81-18. The House was then expected to pass the measure and send it to President Trump for his signature, laying the groundwork for the government to reopen by Monday evening.

The spending bill would fund the government through Feb. 8 and reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for six years.
Yay! We get to play the brinkmanship game again in less than 3 weeks. Oh, and what else is in that legislation that you aren't telling us about? Based on history, I bet 'we the people' are getting screwed yet again.
