The House is prepared to pass the legislation later Wednesday and send it to President Trump’s desk. The president’s support for the bill has been in question, as it does not include the funding increase Trump has requested for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The legislation funding the government expires at the end of Sunday, setting up the government for a partial shutdown absent action from Trump and Congress.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

1. We don't need funding for the wall...

Mexico is paying for it... right?

3. No, Trump is shifting funds

from other agencies, like FEMA and the Coast Guard. He doesn't need funding he just steals it from other agencies.

6. I meant it sarcastically...

Of course trump is going to try and rip off any agency he can to fund his racist monument...

4. Ryan is even more stupid than I thought if he believes one word from the Orange Menace.

Or is Ryan just trying to buy some time to convince the asshole who stole the presidency to not torpedo their chances in the mid-terms.

OTOH, maybe drumpf has russian assurances that their hacking will be even deeper so they can survive a real 6% loss and show as winning in the final published totals so knows he can do what he wants with no repercussions?

7. He must have caught that Susan Collins syndrome, a virus that makes you believe liars again and agai

5. Has this moron still not learned not to trust Trump?

Sigh
