Thanks for the link.

While I recognized the House holds the "power of the purse" in the ability to originate spending bills, I also know that the Senate is required to vote on all spending legislation. It is hard to imagine a situation where the Senate would vote to defund itself, unless that were a provision hidden in some large omnibus bill that nobody read.

Hmmm, let that be a caution to Senate Republicans. Read all bills! Every provision from those sneaky, possibly tainted House members.
