Congress continues to stagger from near-shutdown to near-shutdown, with the government set to run out of money on Thursday.
Leadership sources tell me they expect to seal yet another short-term funding deal to keep the government sputtering along while leaders of both parties try to compromise on the toughest items: defense spending, domestic spending levels, and an immigration deal.
Republican leadership sources expect the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus to oppose the funding bill, which means they'll need Democratic votes to keep the government open.
One source said they will attach disaster relief funding and "a grab bag of health-related spending to sweeten the deal for Democrats, with the biggest expenditure on community health centers.

(4,787 posts)The 'Partners' logos appear at the end of this archived page. (Since the logos are all separate images, it may take a few seconds for them to all load.) It's also referenced in the wikipedia article about the company, but the link there goes to the current version of the page, which no longer has the launch partners listed.
