According to CNN the House passed the bill guaranteeing back pay and it's on its way to Trump.

They said the vote was 411-7, but gave no names -- anyone know where to find the vote tally? I assume it's the Freedom Caucus, but I want to know who's in favor of shutting down the government for political BS and really screwing federal employees just for funsies.

The House puts their stuff up decently fast. You can see the votes here.

Also you can see the latest appropriations bill they passed here with 10 Republicans voting Yay.

Thank you kindly.

So, yeah, a handful of the Freedom Caucus.

Interestingly: Freedom Caucus members tell Trump to back off wall emergency

Multiple Republicans in the conservative group have privately raised their concerns with the Trump administration, fearing it would lead to a years-long legal standoff that Democrats could win while setting a dangerous precedent for the presidency, according to more than a dozen lawmakers and GOP aides. They want Trump to hold out for a deal with Democrats, regardless of how long the partial government shutdown drags on.
