Dems push for tougher DHS safeguards as shutdown deadline nears

Democratic leaders blasted the White House’s DHS funding counterproposal as too weak on immigration-enforcement guardrails, as a potential DHS shutdown looms in four days. Negotiations continue with GOP leaders optimistic about a deal, while Democrats demand judicial warrants, detention standards and accountability measures for ICE. A continuing resolution is being debated, with length and timing still to be negotiated, and other House actions (including the SAVE America Act and tariff-related rules) on the docket alongside DHS testimony hearings.

Dems Keep DHS Funding Options Open Ahead of GOP Talks

A sizable bloc of Senate Democrats hasn’t ruled out another short-term DHS funding patch as negotiations with Republicans continue, with leadership sending a DHS policy wishlist but Republicans showing little interest. Some Democrats who backed last year’s shutdown vote wouldn’t commit to backing another continuing resolution, citing the need to buy time and reach a deal by mid-month. The debate centers on the patch’s length: Democrats oppose a yearlong CR that would lock in DHS funding status quo, while Sen. Thune floats such a plan and Sen. Johnson remains noncommittal. Procedural moves ahead of the Senate’s adjournment will signal the path forward.

House Poised to End Government Shutdown After Senate Approval

The U.S. Senate approved a stopgap funding bill to end the government shutdown, which now awaits House approval and President Trump's signature. The measure funds the government through January 30 and includes provisions for federal employee backpay and SNAP funding, but does not extend ACA subsidies, leading to ongoing political negotiations. The House is expected to vote soon, with further discussions on healthcare reform and full-year funding still pending.

Congress Scrambles to Prevent December Government Shutdown

As the December 20 deadline for a government shutdown approaches, Congress is considering a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government into March. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) may need Democratic support to pass the CR, as Republicans lack the Senate majority to bypass a filibuster. Disaster aid funding is a contentious issue, with some Republicans opposing additional spending. A shutdown would affect non-essential federal employees and could disrupt holiday travel, as air traffic controllers and TSA officers would work without pay.

Congress Races to Avert Shutdown and Tidy Up Before Trump Era Begins

Congress faces a December 20 deadline to avoid a government shutdown, likely opting for a continuing resolution to fund the government into early 2025. This move could give Republicans more leverage with President-elect Trump returning to office, but it also risks complicating his early presidency by creating a critical funding deadline. The process requires bipartisan support, and Democrats hold significant power in shaping the legislation. A drawn-out funding debate could also impact House Speaker Mike Johnson's re-election bid.

Congressional Leaders Reach Agreement to Avert Government Shutdown

Congressional leaders have agreed to delay the government shutdown deadlines by extending the expiration dates for federal finances until later in March, preventing a partial government shutdown this weekend. The funding deal aims to give lawmakers more time to finalize full-year spending legislation for various agencies, with the new deadlines set for March 8 and March 22. The agreement will require swift approval from Congress to avoid a shutdown, as lawmakers continue to grapple with passing spending measures for the 2024 fiscal year.

"Congress Considers Short-Term Funding Bill to Avert Government Shutdown"

Senate Republican Whip John Thune suggests that Congress may need to pass a short-term government funding bill into March to allow time for processing outstanding appropriations bills and avoid a shutdown. Thune's comments may set up a clash with Speaker Mike Johnson, who has pledged to no longer support short-term stopgap measures. Other Republican senators also express support for a short-term continuing resolution, cautioning against a government shutdown and emphasizing the need to continue work on appropriations bills.

"President Biden averts government shutdown with short-term funding bill"

President Biden has signed a bipartisan short-term funding bill to keep the government open until early 2024, extending funding for various departments. The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 87-11 and the House with a vote of 336-95. This measure clears the holiday calendar for Congress but sets the stage for a potential funding battle in December if a long-term agreement cannot be reached.
