Senate Passes $460 Billion Funding Bill to Avert Government Shutdown

The US Senate has passed a $460 billion spending package, averting a government shutdown and funding various programs through the end of the fiscal year. The bill, which has been sent to President Joe Biden for signing, is a major step towards finalizing the 2024 federal budget after months of deadlock in Congress. The Senate's action follows the bill's approval in the House of Representatives and comes ahead of the March 22 deadline for a larger package of spending bills covering military, homeland security, healthcare, and other services.

Senate Republicans' Threat to Block Border Security Bill Raises Compromise Concerns

Senate Republicans are threatening to block a bipartisan package of border security measures and asylum restrictions, just one day after their chief negotiator signed off on it. The GOP senators are seeking more time to discuss changes to the bill in the form of amendments, and their opposition could be devastating to the package, which is now backed by President Joe Biden. Donald Trump is demanding that Republicans sink the agreement, using immigration as a political weapon in the fall election, while House Republican leaders have already declared the bill "dead on arrival" in the lower chamber.
