House passes stopgap bill with border wall funding to avert shutdown - Washington Times:

The House on Thursday passed a stopgap funding bill that would keep the federal government running into early February and give President Trump the additional money he’s seeking for security along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The House voted 217-185, largely along party lines, to pass the bill.
“We have a president who ran on this issue,” said House Majority Whip Steve Scalise. “This is about getting back to rule of law. This is about keeping America safe.”
