This week: Congress races to prevent third shutdown
By Jordain Carney - 03/19/18 06:00 AM EDT

Congress is scrambling to lock down a deal on a mammoth funding bill and prevent the third shutdown of the year.

Lawmakers have until midnight Friday to pass the omnibus legislation or face the third partial closure of the government in as many months.

House Republicans had hoped to vote on the bill last week in order to prevent a jam in the Senate after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) refused to let leadership speed up consideration of a stopgap measure and forced an hours-long shutdown last month.

I know a long-time EPA employee who's retiring, sick of these extensions.

She's the first leftie one.  All the previous ones recently have been those who've been holding back the looniness.  It's good to see a leftie go, finally.
