The House of Representatives on Thursday evening passed a bill to avert a government shutdown (funding expires Friday night).
The House voted 221-212 – All Democrats voted “yea” and one RINO Republican – Adam Kinzinger (shocker) voted with the Democrats.

The bill will fund the government through February 18.
The House-passed bill will now head to the Senate where it is expected to stall because a group of Republicans are demanding a vote on repealing Biden’s federal vaccine mandates.

If the Senate and House cannot agree on a bill tonight, the drama will continue into Friday.
Earlier Thursday Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told lawmakers not to support the interim bill.
“This government should be shut down…shut it down. Do no pass the CR. Shut it down.”
