Gotta say, never thought #HouseRepublicans would manage this:

#House, #Senate pass short-term #bill averting #GovernmentShutdown until March (oooh! aren’t they obviously of the “everyone gets a trophy” generation)
#FarRight House #conservatives were furious over the move, which sends the bill to President #Biden to sign into #law & keep the #government open

The #Senate passed the #legislation, 77-18, early Thursday afternoon. The #House followed suit, 314-108, (please pause & acknowledge the difference between #HouseRepublicans 49% & #Republicans in the Senate 36%) hours later, after #GOP hard-liners launched a last-minute pressure campaign to attach partisan border security measures to the funding package. The votes send the #legislation to President #Biden to sign into law and avert a partial shutdown ahead of the deadline.
