"Inside the Bipartisan 6-Bill Spending Package to Avert Government Shutdown"

Congress is set to approve a $460 billion bipartisan spending bill to fund half the government through the fall, with Republicans pushing for cuts and conservative policies. The legislation includes funding for agencies like the EPA, Justice Department, and veterans affairs, and must pass to prevent a partial government shutdown. While Republicans failed to secure major policy changes, the funding levels adhere to last year's debt limit and spending deal, with domestic program spending remaining flat and military spending increasing slightly. Democrats rejected most of the GOP's sweeping demands, but smaller concessions were made, including cuts to the EPA and the FBI.
