Hakeem Jeffries speaks after House passes funding deal

Hours before the government was set to shut down Friday, the House approved a short-term funding deal to keep the lights on over the holiday. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the bill's passage "a victory for the American people." Juliegrace Brufke, senior political reporter for The Daily Beast, and Scott MacFarlane, CBS News congressional correspondent, join to discuss.

Leave my Social Security and Medicare alone. I worked for that.

This is ridiculous! Sat on this bill for 84 days and didn’t bring it to the floor until 72 hours prior to government shutdown! I’m so sick of this crap! Do single issue bills and stop this fear mongering! Both parties have been horrendous and hopefully this will get better!

"The legislation passed by a vote of 366 in favor to 34 against and one member voting present, with more Democrats voting to support it than Republicans. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to sail through before heading to President Biden's desk for his signature."-CBS 12/20 In addition to funding government operations through March, it includes $100 billion in disaster relief funds and $10 billion in aid to farmers.

When politicians lie, it's the billionaires lips that move for them 😂😂😂 . Keep track this time because people know who to blame this time if the economy gets worse than what was promised, and your retirement is in jeopardy but you have concepts of a healthcare care plan to look forward to.👌 Epic

You guys are learning--- Democratic Leaders keep telling the public what you do for them, since voters get "amnesia" when election time comes, and give credit too the politicians don't mind dragging us over a cliff💯🎊
