The House has passed the crappy border bill that the Senate passed earlier tonight and a lot of Republicans helped pass it.
It’s too early to know who voted how, but here’s a tally:
BREAKING: House passes the spending bill, 300-128, sending it to the president's desk

300-128: House PASSES gov't funding through September 30 with $1.375 billion for 55-mile southern border barrier included to avert shutdown at midnight tomorrow. Bill passed Senate 83-16 and now heads to President who plans to sign it. pic.twitter.com/Ihfc59GOGc

House easily passes border deal/funding bill to avert government shutdown 300-128. Package goes to Trump for his signature.

But 109 Republicans vote NO. Only 87 vote yes.
And 19 Dems defect and vote no.
At least more Republicans voted against the bill in the House, but almost half of them still supported it. And the reason this is so frustrating is that they didn’t even need to support it. Almost every one of the Republicans could have voted against it and it would have still passed the House.
I’ll post a roll call vote here when I get it.
UPDATE: Here’s the roll call vote.
