    He really didn’'t avert a shutdown, he just delayed it a bit. House Republicans failed to pass a rule to consider the Commerce-Justice-Science spending bill.

    Vote was 198-223.

    When thinking about next year and the prospects for a spending bill, keep in mind that House Republicans cannot pass party-line rules on GOP spending bills.

    This means next year Democrats will again be needed since the numbers can’t change by rule.

    Johnson painted himself into a corner.

        The first part of the budget will expire January 19, the second February 2. Not that far away.

          That’s when the budget expires not Johnson’s speakership.
