“House Republicans fell short of votes on Friday to advance a three-week bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, 203-224,” Roll Call reports.

The Hill: “The vote is a shocking defeat for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his leadership team, who had scrambled to bring the three-week funding bill to the floor ahead of the looming deadline.”
