It has been reported that Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have agreed to bring HR 4851 (the one-month extension) to the floor for a vote tonight.
Debate on HR 4851 will be limited to two hours, allowing only amendments that provide assistance. A final vote will then proceed.
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) objected -- but there appears to be sufficient support from both Republicans and Democrats for the bill to be passed by the Senate tonight.
I wonder if this little part here pertains to us? The ones that have already run out or about to run out on their fourth tier?
Many statements were made by top Democrats today regarding that reconciliation on the long-term extension is underway, as well as expressing the need to also provide additional weeks of unemployment assistance to American’s in need?
i really hope this goes through. i have never been this stressed out ever and i was in iraq and afghanistan when i was in the military.
I feel ya man. Im a disabled veteran who's 26 and can't find a job anywhere. Thats why were headed to Florida. I wish I could have stayed in the military.

It was an active link until a short time ago -- when the site apparently removed the "Breaking News" post. No explanation for why the post was deleted. Apologies for the inconvenience -- I will update as soon as I learn anything about the situation.

Thanks again diorgirl. I did manage to open the link earlier. Is it being televised on C-SPAN?
in a live quorum because of impasse on HR 4851 looking for absent voters now on cspan
A LIVE QUORUM is conducted to get a majority, or 51, senators to the floor.
It takes the form of a motion to instruct the Sergeant-at-Arms to request the attendance of absent senate
i hope they pass this extension tonight. It would take alot of stress of my mind for atleast a short time!
