House fails to pass GOP stopgap funding bill

The House of Representatives has voted against a stopgap funding bill from Republicans that would have kept the government open another month. NBC News' Sahil Kapur reports on how this is another setback for Speaker McCarthy and efforts to avert a government shutdown this weekend.

As if we needed more proof of the contempt Republicans have for this country.

[sneakerphotgrapher]

Truly pitiful. Of course, the first people not to get paid should be Republican legislatures.

[qieronbowie]

My cousin and her husband will be losing pay during this shutdown. That means no income for them and their children. This is literally the dumbest and most unnecessary thing you can do to hard working people. And there is literally no reason for this to happen and no endgame for this idiocy.

[kento]

Stop calling them GOP. Theres nothing grand about it.

[Stuff_And_Things]

Just one McCarthy failure after another.
He can't blame it on anyone else. The Senate has a bill. The president is ready to sign a bill.
McCarthy just needs to bring the Senate bill to the floor of the House and it will pass.

How 50 million Americans vote for Republicans is completely nuts..

[freetochoose]

McCarthy is a total failure as a speaker.

[gillyg]

Good to see that some Republicans are not bending at the knees to Trump. They see the damage being done by the Republicam MAGA'S to the party. VOTE BLUE.

[ddee]

The cuts the republican party wants to make are cruel. 30% from meals on wheels that is immoral to say the least.

[pvttj]

CANCEL. REPUBLICANS. ON. ACCOUNT. OF. IGNORANCE.

[fauxjaux]

The do nothing party of Donald Duck. What a Failure.

[jimough]

Please remember who is responsible for this shutdown.

[ThatLadyDray]

ATP if you tell me you're Republican, I'm treating it as a shortened way of telling me you'll sacrifice anyone & anything to get your way, enjoy cruelty, willfully harbor hatred, hate uncomfortable facts, like authoritarianism, & won't keep the same stance on acts depending on who did them.

[andrewstevenson]

What a Mickey Mouse way to run a government. (Disney, please don't sue me for saying that.)

[quotestotez]

Ok we, the people, need to partition the White House with a request Government Elected Officials must take a two thirds pay cut when the government shuts down, and must volunteer a thousand hours of Community Service in their districts each day they refuse to work. Pay will not be reinstated to full amount until all the tomfoolery stops. Why am I paying taxes to watch untrained monkeys dance? I don't want to see that thank you very much. No pay for government elected officials, one months pay for everyday they are closed.🎉❤😊

[Noneofyourbizniz]

They need to pass the bipartisan senate bill. Period. He’s so weak. He worries more about his own job than the country.

[janelitamirta]

Suffering all over but McCarthy is still the Speaker, and that's what matters (to him).

[mackjrbell]

Funny how the word "fail" has been synonymous with the republican party now.

[johnphantom]

Meanwhile half of babies in America will go without nourishment.

[redmustangredmustang]

This is really just embarrassing for the Republican party.
