House Democrats will hold a "Day of Action" across the country on Tuesday to push back against the GOP-backed spending bill to avert a government shutdown.

Democrats were stuck between two choices they despised: Vote for a funding bill that reflects Republican spending priorities and will give Trump and his allies more leeway to dismantle the federal government, or shut the government down by denying their vote and risk facing political backlash and blame.

Senate Democrats provided the necessary votes to pass a bill that will keep the government funded through the end of September, though the vote laid bare deep divisions within the party.
