Based on the latest notice from House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) that there are no anticipated votes in the House this week, it seems that the shutdown will drag on until the Democrats take control of the chamber.
From a Washington Post reporter:

So, this will be the Pelosi Grand Opening.
Why the hell would you give the Democrats credit for reopening the government you’ve been controlling for 2 years?? Talk about an unforced self-own.
Why didn’t Steve just say, “My Whip be Busted - See Auntie Nancy for marching orders from here to eternity, LOL !!”
Seriously, given the demographic trends and the enthusiasm of the sleeping giant Democratic Electorate demonstrated this November, Steve’s chances of being in the majority in the House during his lifetime are “slim” and “none”…unless he switches parties.
Steve got rescued from the brink of death. I’m not seeing that he’s earned it.

Speaking of Ryan… why isn’t this announcement coming from him? He is still speaker until the end of the week right?
