For the third straight day, Democrats filibustered the Senate GOP’s effort to pass the House GOP bill that funded the Department of Homeland Security while rolling back Obama’s executive actions shielding millions from deportation. What happens now is unclear.

One thing is clear, however: John Boehner has no idea how Republicans are going to get out of this mess. Ed O’Keefe reports:

How exactly Republicans plan to proceed remains unclear. The impasse has once again exposed deep differences between hard-line conservatives strongly opposed to Obama’s immigration actions and more moderate Republicans who disagree with what the president did, but realize that they can do very little to reverse the president’s moves without super-majorities in the House and Senate.

Asked by reporters on Thursday if he knows how McConnell plans to proceed after three days of failing to advance the bill, House Speaker John A. Boehner shrugged his shoulders and said: “No.”
