"(CNN)The federal government shut down at midnight Friday as senators continued to scramble to reach a deal to fund the government.

This is the first modern government shutdown with Congress and the White House controlled by the same party, and it comes on the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump's White House however immediately blamed Democrats for the shutdown.

"Tonight, they put politics above our national security, military families, vulnerable children, and our country's ability to serve all Americans," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement moments before midnight. "We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators."
Sixty votes were needed to advance the bill to keep the government open for four weeks. Republicans only control 51 seats, so GOP leaders needed Democratic votes to cross that threshold. As of midnight on the East Coast, the vote was still technically ongoing but enough senators had voted against the plan to prevent it from advancing. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ended the vote at 12:16 a.m. ET.

Congressional leaders -- including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer -- are working to come up with a deal on the floor of the chamber. The source says the talks on the floor are, indeed, real and "potentially productive" but the gap is too big to bridge right now, a senior GOP source said."

My mistake DEMOCRATS do finally have Republicans by the balls in the Senate---:badgrin: Democrats will not budge on DACA.

Trump promised a DACA bill. Obviously there's a lot of Republicans that don't want one. I knew that when Trump didn't extend the DACA program under Obama--that there would be problems later on--and here it is. In fact Paul Ryan told Trump to extend it. He didn't and here is your nightmare.
Paul Ryan, other GOP congressional leaders urge Trump not to terminate DACA

Consider this...........Our government and people are being held hostage to protect illegals under an illegal U.S. platform. Now ask yourselves what use the Democrats are. They're worse than do-nothings. We're better off without them.

The snake poem president Trump reiterates makes sense now. These demos are working on their obstruction.
