Politico:
“Senate Democratic leaders may only keep the government open for less

consuming Washington… Monday began a week of
high-level maneuvering on Capitol Hill, with each of the four leaders
beginning to weigh how to proceed on what could become a defining moment
for the 113th Congress and Barack Obama’s presidency.”
