Stopgap Bill to End Government Shutdown Passes Congress By Taylor Knighton

Today, the house passed a short-term spending bill to reopen the government, now President Trump must sign it to end the shutdown. Also, earlier in the afternoon, the Senate also voted to reopen the government after 81 senators broke the filibuster that shut it down. The Senate voted 81- 18 on Monday, January 22,2018 to end the three-day-old government shutdown, with Democrats joining the Republicans to fund the government until February 8th in exchange for a promise from Republican leaders to address the future of the Dreamers.

I want the government to reopen so a decision can be made for the Dreamers.
