Johnson urges House members to return to Washington as shutdown nears end

The U.S. government shutdown is nearing an end after a bipartisan breakthrough, with the Senate taking a key procedural step towards passing a deal that includes full-year appropriations bills and a temporary funding resolution through January 30. House Republicans are expected to support the deal once President Trump endorses it, while some Democrats and GOP hardliners may oppose certain provisions. Key issues include hemp language in the agriculture bill and potential legislative proposals on healthcare and stock trading restrictions.

"Senate Passes $1.2T Spending Bill to Avert Government Shutdown"

The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion spending package after a brief partial government shutdown, with the bill now heading to President Biden's desk for signing. The package, which completes the appropriations process for 2024, faced criticism from some Republican senators due to the last-minute release of the bill text and the short time given for review. The funding will keep the government fully funded until the Sept. 30, 2024 deadline, but concerns remain about potential funding disagreements in the future.

"House Approves Bills to Prevent Government Shutdown, Sends Package to Senate"

The House of Representatives passed six appropriations bills to fund the government until the end of the fiscal year, setting up a tight turnaround for the Senate to vote on the package before a midnight deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown. The $1.2 trillion package includes defense, homeland security, and other key areas. The vote could have consequences for House Speaker Mike Johnson, as GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to remove him. The bills needed two-thirds support to pass, and there were concerns about the vote being tighter than expected. The package has wins for both Republicans and Democrats, and Speaker Johnson's challenge deepens as the House will debate funding for Ukraine next month.

"Congress Grapples with $1.2 Trillion Funding Package Deadline"

Senate GOP members are prepared to delay the $1.2 trillion spending package due to dissatisfaction with the legislative process and the content of the bills. Some senators expressed frustration with the lack of time to review the 1,012-page spending package before a potential partial government shutdown. They criticized the rushed voting process and the amount of spending in the bills. The second group of appropriations bills could face additional hurdles due to its late release, with some senators expressing uncertainty about the outcome but ultimately expecting the bills to pass despite their objections.

"Congress Races Against Time to Pass $1.2 Trillion Spending Bill and Avert Shutdown"

Congressional leaders have unveiled the final bipartisan package of six 2024 fiscal year appropriations bills, totaling $1.2 trillion and covering various sectors including defense, homeland security, and healthcare. With a looming Friday midnight deadline, lawmakers are racing to pass the bills, but concerns arise over the limited time for review before voting. Both Republicans and Democrats are highlighting their wins in the package, with provisions addressing border security, childcare programs, and visas for Afghans who assisted the U.S. during the war in Afghanistan.

"Congress Reaches Last-Minute Agreement to Avert Homeland Security Shutdown"

Congressional leaders have reached a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security through fiscal year 2024, avoiding a partial government shutdown. The agreement, which is still being finalized, will be a full-year bill rather than a stopgap measure. However, Congress may still need to pass a short-term continuing resolution before Friday's deadline to allow for sufficient review time. The deal comes after disagreements over DHS funding and involves negotiations on pay equity for the Transportation Security Administration and funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If the deal holds and the remaining six funding bills are passed, it would be a win for Speaker Mike Johnson, who has aimed to avoid a year-end omnibus package and a one-percent cut across the board.
