After 10 PM EST on Friday, The U.S. Senate rejected a deal that would fund the U.S. government for another month:
Only five Democrats voted to advance the bill — Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Claire McCaskill (Mo.), who are all up for reelection this year in states carried by President Trump in 2016 election, and newly-elected Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.).
Republicans were also not united, as Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Mike Lee (Utah) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.) also voted against advancing the legislation. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is battling brain cancer, was absent.
The procedural vote remained open late Friday, though it needed 60 votes to pass and was well short of that number with 48 senators voting against it.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer continued to negotiate after the vote opened (archive), but no deal has been reached yet. As of midnight (5 minutes before this story went live), the government shutdown was in effect.

Except Trump is not the darling of the Religious Right. They liked Cruz and not Trump. Now they prefer Pence to Trump. They would be quite happy for Trump to be impeached and have Pence take the helm so they could pass their priorities, which are abortion, homeschooling, prayer in school, and all those other things that have been their priorities for 40 years and which they've never gotten despite Republicans holding all the reins of power several times in that period because they're too darn useful in duping them into voting for Republicans.
That is why I assert that the religious right is not the driving force in Trump's support. It's not the hackneyed Republican caricatures we all know and love (?). They are inchoate rage, the inevitable evolution of the forces that produced the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street.
Washington DC delenda est.
