Senators depart Washington without a shutdown deal

Senators departed Washington without a deal to end the government shutdown, ensuring it will last into next week with both sides still deadlocked.

The upper chamber finished work for the week late Thursday night when it passed the Senate’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which included more than a dozen of amendment votes.

They will return to work Tuesday. They will be off Monday due to the federal holiday.

The decision means that not only will the government shutdown reach the two-week mark come Tuesday, but that military members will likely miss their first paycheck as part of the shutdown.

Government doesn't work. Elect us and we'll prove it. - The GOP

They were given Article 1 power and they gave that power over to a deranged con man.

They betrayed their oath to the Constitution and the American people.
