OnPolitics Today: The shutdown gets shut down

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., walks

Congress approved three weeks of government funding on Monday, ending Washington's 60-hour shutdown showdown that began Friday night.

It all came down to Senate Democrats, who agreed to shelve demands for a deal to address DACA (read: the 800,000 immigrants facing deportation) while still getting six years of funding for CHIP (read: 9 million children facing loss of health insurance).

So the government's fully open again until at least Feb. 8, by which point Senate Republicans promised to put up an immigration deal - or else, if Democrats want, the government could shut down yet again.

You thought the shutdown was messy? Buckle up.

Monday's spending bill merely staved off the shutdown for another three weeks, during which major debates on immigration and spending will continue. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised Democrats he'd bring up an immigration bill with bipartisan consensus by Feb. 8. While some liberals think Democrats caved , the fact that Democrats have any leverage in President Trump's Republican Congress ain't nothing to sneeze at. But no bill that passes the Senate with Democratic support is likely to be well received in the House, and the protections for 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children expire on March 5 - at Trump's request. Trump himself claimed victory on Monday and promised a deal but " only if it's good for our country."

Get smart quick: Here's the top takeaways from the shutdown. Also, Sen. Susan Collins had a powerful stick.

A boozy bachelor party busted? A woman named 'Peaches'? Call in the Supreme Court.

Were police in Washington right to arrest 21 partygoers for being disorderly and trespassing in 2008 at a booze- and drug-fueled bachelor party replete with strippers and hosted by a woman named Peaches? Yes, yes they were, said the Supreme Court on Monday, in a unanimous ruling deemed worthy of their time . "The living room had been converted into a makeshift strip club," Justice Clarence Thomas wrote. "Strippers in bras and thongs, with cash stuffed in their garter belts, were giving lap dances. Upstairs, the officers found a group of men with a single, naked woman on a bare mattress - the only bed in the house - along with multiple open condom wrappers and a used condom."

Mike Pence, noted fan of the Bible, visits Jerusalem

Vice President Mike Pence, voted least likely to be arrested at a drug-fueled House party with strippers, announced Monday that the America's embassy in Israel will relocate to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv next year . The news, made during Pence's trip to Israel, came before the nation's parliament. Israel and the U.S., said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have a "shared destiny." According to Bloomberg News, Pence helped convince the Trump administration to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital - one of perhaps a few accomplishments that can be credited to Pence and his Bible-driven tenure as V.P.
