That the Senate is still in recess, awaiting call if the chair;
And the extension that passed the House is NOT yet passed in the Senate.
And that with Feinstein gone, we now have 49 votes, not 50. Which means the Senate might have trouble passing it.
Now what?
Four more hours till midnight. And no Senate vote yet.
