“Senate Republicans are signaling they will do just about anything to prevent a second shutdown after the White House was widely seen as badly losing the political fight over the closure that ended with President Trump’s retreat on Friday,” The Hill reports.

“Republicans are in no mood to be dragged back into another partial closure in mid-February, the deadline to get a deal on spending for roughly a quarter of the government.”

Said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), modifying a well-known quote: “There certainly would be no education in the third kick of the mule.”
