Schumer on supporting short-term funding gov't through February 18th to avert a gov't shutdown tomorrow at midnight: "This is a good compromise that allows an appropriate amount of time for both parties in both chambers to finish negotiations on appropriations."
Schumer: "If there is a shutdown, it will be a Republican anti-vaccine shutdown. Democrats wants to get the gov't funded as soon as possible. It was not easy to reach this deal. It took a while to get Republican leadership on board, but I'm glad that we've gotten it done."
Schumer on NDAA & Rubio:"Last night, because of the objections of one Republican, NDAA has once again been prevented from moving forward. As I said last night, the amdt pushed by my colleague would certainly raise a Blue Slip objection in the House and thus kill the entire NDAA."
