"House Passes Bipartisan $1.2 Trillion Spending Bill, GOP Revolt, and Motion to Oust Speaker"

The House approved a $1.2 trillion spending package to fund most of the federal government for the next six months, raise military pay, and make various policy changes. The bill's passage was contentious, with House Speaker Mike Johnson facing opposition from some conservatives. The Senate is expected to pass the bill, but procedural roadblocks could delay the process. If the bill had failed, Congress would have few options to fund the government, potentially leading to a shutdown.

"Congress Unveils $1.2 Trillion Bipartisan Spending Package to Avert Shutdown"

US congressional leaders have released a $1.1tn bipartisan spending measure for defense, homeland security, and other programs, giving lawmakers less than two days to avert a partial government shutdown. The package covers about two-thirds of the $1.66tn in discretionary government spending for the fiscal year and includes investments in the American people, a stronger economy, national security, and global leadership. The compressed schedule raises the risk of a partial shutdown after a Friday midnight deadline, unless Senate Republicans and Democrats can reach an agreement to expedite the bill.
