The federal government has officially shut down.

In a late-night vote, the Senate failed to pass a continuing resolution that would have kept the government open for another month and also provided a six-year extension of funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program. The measure received only 50 votes in favor — with five Democrats voting in favor and five Republicans voting against — falling 10 votes shy of the 60-vote threshold needed for it to pass.

The measure had cleared the House just a day earlier with 230 in support and 197 voting against. All the Democratic members of Nevada’s congressional delegation — Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Reps. Dina Titus, Ruben Kihuen and Jacky Rosen — voted against the measure while the Republicans, Sen. Dean Heller and Rep. Mark Amodei, supported it.

Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell proposed a separate measure that would keep the government open for just three weeks early Saturday morning. The Senate is expected to come back into session on Saturday.

The Senate took few other votes this week, including a motion to concur on a House amendment to a bill to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which Cortez Masto supported and Heller opposed. The legislation renews a National Security Agency program that gathers information from foreigners overseas but does not impose extra provisions to ensure Americans' emails and other personal communications are not caught up in the program, as some lawmakers had advocated for.

The House, by contrast, took 18 roll call votes and passed several bills, including the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which amends the federal criminal code to require health-care professionals present when a child is born following an abortion or attempted abortion to exercise the same degree of care for that child as they would any other and ensure the child is immediately admitted to a hospital. Amodei voted for the bill, while Nevada’s three Democratic House members voted against it.

Rosen joined Amodei in supporting the World Bank Accountability Act, which authorizes the U.S.’s participation in the International Development Association, the World Bank’s fund for the poorest countries, through the appropriate of almost $3.3 billion. Titus and Kihuen opposed it.

Members of Nevada’s congressional delegation also sponsored several pieces of legislation this week. Titus is backing a House resolution recognizing magic as a rare and valuable art form. (It’s not the first time she has sponsored such a resolution.)

Rosen sponsored a bill along with Republican Congressman Walter B. Jones from North Carolina titled the “Pulled Pork Act,” which would prohibit Congress from reinstating earmarks, or provisions in bills that direct funds to a particular recipient. Lawmakers held hearings this week on the Republican-led earmark ban that went into effect in 2011.

“Congress made the right decision when it ended the practice of earmarks,” said Congresswoman Rosen. “Earmarks represent a return to political favoritism, unethical practices and wasteful government spending.”
