Republicans balk at Senate Democrats' DHS shutdown counteroffer - CNBC

Senate Republicans balked at a Democratic counteroffer to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, stalling talks as Congress and the White House race to reach a funding deal before a scheduled recess. At the same time, Senate GOP leadership is preparing to press forward with its own enforcement-funding blueprint as soon as next week, a move that could override dissenting senators but also deepen intraparty divisions given additional demands from lawmakers like Rick Scott and Tommy Tuberville. Those competing pressures make a bipartisan resolution before the recess more difficult.
