Adam Putman (R-Hell) has apparently managed to bring a resolution on budget resolution back to the floor. I joined CSPAN late so I'm not sure what exactly they've pulled off but I think the budget that failed today will be back up for a vote tonight.
Rep. Slaughter is on the floor now making great points. She is condemning the budget reconciliation bill which will be voted out of the House tonight. It looked so good earlier today, now the Democrats seem resigned to Republican unity on this resolution.

Update:
Poster Wary explains the situation well below
here are the highlights:
Hassert wouldn't let this die, he had the House reconvene at 8 PM with alleged 'concessions' on food stamps, and he wants to vote on this by midnight!
Thing is they are still wanting those tax cuts for the wealthy---that's their real aim, take away from those who really need it to give that and more to the wealthy--their real base!
Don't 'cha love all that tired old rhetoric? I mean that about 'these are not cuts for those in need we just won't expand what we are already spending' but they 'conveniently' leave out that the poverty rate has been expanding under Bush, so yes, that's a 'cut'!
