OMG, House Republicans are voting to adjourn until tomorrow at noon, which GUARANTEES a #TrumpShutdown tonight. Why would Republican House Leadership make their Members vote to adjourn? #GOP doesn't know how to govern.

The fact that they’re not simply ending the session and going home shows they think there’s a chance at such a deal. And, frankly, if the government shuts down tonight and reopens under a new CR on Monday, I doubt anyone will care about the fact that it was shut down over a weekend.
