House GOP pulls key vote to advance stopgap government funding bill
The House of Representatives canceled a scheduled key procedural vote Tuesday on a temporary government funding bill hashed out by Republicans.
The House GOP leadership pulled a vote originally scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET to advance a stopgap measure to fund the federal government through Oct. 31, according to an updated legislative schedule published by Democratic Whip Katherine Clark.

A bad apple spoils the whole bunch and all that.
