Senators voted 54-46 to pass the stopgap spending bill, which only needed 51 votes to be approved. Nearly all Republicans backed the measure, with only Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., opposing. All Democrats opposed it, with the exception of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, also voted to pass the bill. …

Deep divisions emerged within the Democratic Party over the past couple of days, with even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., refusing to answer questions about whether he had confidence in Schumer. …

We prayed fervently, and clearly understood the negative repercussions if the bill didn’t pass. It was smart and necessary for this time, We pray for God’s mercy and wisdom for our leadership in the executive & legislative branches; we pray against the political activism of many judges in the judicial branch .In Jesus. Name, Amen

It’s not enough to find the corruption. It is time these people are held accountable. I pray for swift judgement for all.
