reserved for later in the day and morning business be closed. finally, the senate consideration of the house message to accompany hr-195. is there objection? without objection. no further business come before the senate, stand adjourned on the previous order. senate stands adjourned until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. there you have it. doesn t sound like there s going to be a vote tonight. let s check in on capitol hill. are we interpreting that correctly? that no e vote tonight? that s right. no vote tonight. government is still shut down. we ll head into day three of this 2018 government shutdown tomorrow. no agreement. they are going to vote at noon tomorrow on a bill to keep the government open for three more weeks to reopen for three weeks and extend that children s health insurance program for six years, delay obamacare taxes. they need 60 votes to overcome a democratic fill bust. er. right now it appears they are
government won t be paid. but it doesn t look given b what we re hearing that s what he s going to do. he could do it. think of all those votes on obamacare that everybody knew we are going to fail but were being done for theater. it looks like there s been movement. now if there s movement, it means the democrats are satisfied, enough of them and their leadership, are satisfyie that the movement reflects the fact that the executive branch and the hard liners in congress are willing to give daca a chance. i don t assume. daca will involve legislation that hasn t been written. there are a lot of things that need to be done. but if there are assurances that the democrats can take home, that might be enough. let me put it another way. if the american people see that the democrats and republican supporters of daca have done their best to raise the profile
capable of reaching the united states by next year. according to a new classified report first obtained by the washington post, that s two years earlier than officials originally estimated. and take a look at this incredible home run from the minor leagues last night. one of the dodgers top prospects hit a ball deep into right field where it bounced off the outfielder s head and over the wall for not one, not two, but a three-run homer. talk about a headache for that guy. moving on, as we just mentioned, the senate just gavelled now to debate a plan to repeal obamacare. joining me now, democratic senator ben cardin of maryland. senator, before we get to health care, i do want to ask you about the breaking news. president trump s tweets a moment ago saying he will not allow transgender individuals to serve in the u.s. military. your reaction? stephanie, this is very disappointing. the president is sanctioning discrimination. our nation is not safer when we
perspective, according to him. with the exception of the late great abraham lincoln, i can be more presidential than any president that s ever held this office. that i can tell you. that s a wow. all right. we begin today with the senate gaggling in 30 minutes from now but that s pretty much the only sure thing on the schedule today. republicans think they have a plan to get rid of obamacare, but as always, the devil is in the details. you re in luck, we ve got a great team here to break all of it down, starting with msnbc s garrett haake live on the hill. garrett, nobody knows honestly. nobody knew how complicated it was. nobody knows how this thing is going to ends. where exactly do we stand right now? it s going to get more complicated before it gets less complicated. there was a big vote that happened last night on the better care reconciliation act. this was the repeal and replace combo plan that we ve been talking about for weeks.
gets remade. but the skinny repeal basically gets rid of the mandates, that s it. can they get 50 senators to support that? it s plausible because by 3:00 a.m. on friday morning after there s been a vote-a-rama for 24 or 48 hours, there s going to be so much pressure on republican senators to just pass something, it s likely some of these moderates on the fence, some of these conservatives who are agnostic about it could eventually come around. but the bigger issue is even if the senate passes a skinny repeal, it still has to go to conference with the house. that is not what house republican leadership was hoping for. leadership in the house was hoping that the senate would pass something that could go straight to the floor, so they would be able to tell their members, look, this is what you get, this is your one shot to repeal the affordable care act. it s this or nothing. but instead, assuming skinny repeal gets passed, which is plausible, although of course we don t know, it still
