Moments ago, the House of Representatives rejected a plan that would keep the government funded past this month, by a 195 to 230 margin.

Conservatives opposed the measure because its funding levels were too high, while Democrats opposed efforts to offset spending for disaster relief related to Hurricane Irene. Overall, 46 Republicans voted “no” and five Democrats voted “yes.”
