Does anyone else notice

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.

That enough republicans will vote to make it happen. The crap that has happened the last 7 years tries the souls of decent and good citizens from coast to coast.
