Yes... it's trump's shutdown.
8 Republicans join House vote to reopen IRS, other financial agencies despite veto threat
The House passed a financial services spending bill on Wednesday, the first of four appropriations bills the House will vote on this week in an attempt to reopen shuttered parts of government, despite the fact that the measures are not expected to go anywhere in the Senate and face a White House veto threat.
The vote was 240-188, with eight Republicans joining with Democrats to pass the bill.
