The Senate advanced the House-passed spending bill that contains $5.7 billion in wall funding on Friday.
The Senate passed a motion to proceed on the House-passed continuing resolution (CR), 48-47, that includes $5.7 billion in border wall funding, which will put the spending bill to a full floor vote soon. Vice President Mike Pence broke the tie on the motion to proceed, which will allow the Senate to vote on the legislation.

No – they passed a motion to continue discussion, but not vote on it.  The Senate adjourned. The shutdown will happen at midnight.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

And you don't call that 'Advancing'?

It certainly was not retreating.
