Senate GOP blocks bill to reopen Homeland Security
Republicans say that they care about national security, but they block bills that would open the Department of Homeland Security. Hmm....really makes you think, doesn't it?

The Hill said:Senate Republicans blocked legislation on Friday that would have temporarily reopened the Department of Homeland Security.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) asked to take up a House-passed bill that would fund the department through Feb. 8. It's the third time Democrats have tried to bring up the stopgap measure.
But Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) objected to the request "on behalf of the majority leader," referring to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
It's the third time McConnell has blocked the bill to temporarily reopen DHS, which is at the center of the shutdown fight. He's also blocked a bill that would reopen the rest of impacted department and agencies three times, most recently on Thursday.
