The toll on press covering Delaney Hall:

The massive government funding package just failed badly in the Senate, 45-55. Needed 60. Zero Democrats voted for it. SEVEN Republicans opposed it: Budd Johnson Lee Paul Moody Rick Scott Tuberville (John Thune switched his vote to no for procedural reasons.)
