Senate Democrats on Monday rejected a GOP-led stopgap funding bill for the 11th time as the shutdown heads into its fourth week.

Senators voted 50-43 on the House-passed bill, which would fund the government through Nov. 21. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine were the only senators who broke rank to vote to advance the bill. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) did not vote.

They are absolutely going to change the rules sometime very soon

That'd definitely be the signal that even the opportunist types in the Republican caucus don't think they'll ever have to worry about elections ever again. Threatening a shutdown over a stopgap funding measure is one of their favorite tactics. They'd never give that up unless they thought they would never actually be out of power again.
