Senate out til tomorrow at 11:30a. Another vote then on House’s stop-gap to reopen government. Dems expected to block it. No votes expected in Senate this weekend. No serious talks happening between the two sides at leadership level. Meaning shutdown expected to drag into Week 2

Gallego says there were “organic” talks on floor to end shutdown mess/find way forward to negotiate “This is us, just senators, randomly getting together and spitballing, and then seeing if we could come to some kind of consensus.“ Leadership not involved at all yet.
