The Texas senator proposed on Monday night that the House should begin passing small appropriations bills to keep specific portions of the government running after midnight...“There’s no rule that a CR has to fund every bit of the fed government at the same time. We should pick the top, the critical priorities,” he said. “The areas where if the democrats force a shutdown, the areas where there will be the most pain. Let’s take them off the table. I think the House tonight ought to pass several continuing resolutions.”
