Sky York Journal House Republicans passed their “clean” seven-week continuing resolution (CR) Friday morning on a largely party line 217-212 vote, setting up the Senate for a stalemate over government funding similar to what happened in March. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Victoria Spartz (R-IN) broke from the Republican caucus and voted against the short-term stopgap measure, which would keep the government funded through Nov. 21. Rep.
