The Senate is set to hold a pair of test votes on competing proposals to reopen the government. Both are expected to fail with no clear consensus between Democrats and Republicans over how to end the longest shutdown in US history.

I guess your federal government doesn't work anymore.Should consider independent States,break up from the federal government.

Vote of no confidence in SenMajLdr ASAP

What about telling the people CNN about the bill that was put on the floor yesterday to fund the border wall and the second bill was to pay federal workers who were affected by the shutdown.6 DEMS. VOTED YES! Both bills where voted down. Goes to show you Democrats don't care.

Hey CNN, fake news isn't just when you lie about the news, it's also about when you IGNORE the news. Like, the two votes congress held to allow federal workers to get their pay during the shutdown, but that virtually every Democrat voted AGAINST! Why would you ignore that?

Nancy’s fault

Keep government shut, Pelosi is compromised, and democrats can't operate without big government spending bills.

The McConnell Senate is a toothless creature perpetually bent in a stoop so as to be always ready for an administering of a good sucking to the Presidents awaiting member.

Are these ppl actually in chg of deciding the fate of millions? This is sad. The greatest country in the world and they are worried about 5.7b for a wall? I don't care. Ppl are hurting. Ppl are thinking about where to live, eat, drive. Pols are worried about being re-elected.

65 plus years and always heard complaints we needed a wall. Both parties touted the need. Obvious resistance against Trump on 'no wall' stand, even though ppl want this. Support both sides on some issues, but Trump on this one.

Here is the solution to end Government Shutdown. The Potus claims he is “rich”. If that is true, then he and his family can fund the Wall with Trump dollars $$. No added dollars to Government deficit and Government is reopened. Trump puts his money where his mouth is!

Fair offer!!

Build the wall

CNN the disposable media. Time to turn around your fake reporting cause it’s a matter of time before a reporter or news team gets hurt for reporting lies, Americans are getting fed up with CNN which stands for Clinton News Network

IMPEACHTHELOCKOUT!

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Hey dems - Obama agrees with the president. Or are u all hypocrites ?

Who needs the Russians when we have the govt shutdown! What could undermine democracy more than the ruling class holding the working class hostage?

I don’t doubt it.

And these people are being PAID to waste this time.

Does the Senate still remember how to VOTE?!?!!

The way to open government is to remove realDonaldTrump from office! Majority of American do not approve of him nor approve of his actions!

McConnell shouldn’t be able to go home until he makes a deal and opens the govt!

Then maybe it is time to close whole country down. Ports, air, etc.

I'm sure those who have gone a month without a paycheck are pleased to have waited 3 days for a couple of show votes and continue to be held hostage over a wall that will do zero to stop drug smuggling and improve security.

It's about time the sorry ass republicans are ready to do some of their jobs.

Stop paying THEM instead of punishing the lower level gov workers. Congress, house of reps, white house, etc etc. Maybe then they’ll get something done.

Americans have not suffered enough from illegal immigration. Let Pelosi have her no immoral border, free medical care for illegal immigrants. Let caravans cross. We will fund it all as Pelosi would like. Let Americans have it Pelosi way. When we suffer enough it will end.

timkaine of Virginia tried twice to bring up the bill they passed back in Dec. for a vote. Each time, that loathesome TrumpToady™️ and big time NRA $$ collector SenMajLdr McConnell has shut it down. I look forward to the day when we shut HIM down. KaineMutiny

We have illegals coming in each and every day and these people are running TEST VOTES? GREAT.

Democrats Voted NO twice now refusing to pay furloughed Government Employees. ALL Republicans Voted YES.

This is ridiculous

sad when 90 yrs old men & women decide the future of the young look at them both like a walking mummies

Should we really have to pay for 'Test Votes'?

The shit storm starts at the top,,,,,realDonaldTrump

Just fund the government!!!!!

Joke

Might want to mention one of them previously passed 100-0

Top notch leadership.
