House GOP rejects Senate DHS deal

In a remarkable 24 hours in Washington, House Republicans snubbed a bipartisan funding deal cut by their own Senate GOP counterparts and instead approved an entirely different plan " prolonging the Department of Homeland Security shutdown. Then, they left town. Now, there's no end in sight for the 42-day shutdown that has hobbled airports across the country with TSA shortages. With the House GOP's plan going nowhere in the Senate, even Republicans acknowledge it's not clear how to end the standoff now until there's a breakthrough with at least some Democrats.
