45-55: Senate blocks the House-approved 6-bill spending package with DHS funding through Sept. 30 to avert a partial government shutdown Friday at midnight. 60 votes were needed to advance it. Republicans Budd (NC), Johnson (WI), Lee (UT), Moody (FL), Paul (KY), Scott (FL) & Tuberville (AL) voted No with all Democrats. Majority Leader Thune switched his vote from Yes to No to allow for a second vote to take place likely later today. Talks continue off the floor on a possible deal on gov't funding.(Craig Caplan)
