Senate approves temporary funding extension to avert government shutdown ahead of midterms

The Senate approved a funding extension through December 11 to avert a government shutdown ahead of the midterm elections, sending the measure to a House whose support is uncertain. The Senate bill differs from the House’s version by excluding ICE/CBP funding and blocking a proposed administration grants-rule change. In related moves, the chamber also confirmed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and rejected a voter ID measure, while Republicans signaled they will revisit a broader budget and elections package after the August recess, amid continued push from Trump.

GOP seeks Iran war briefing as funding vote looms

House Republican leaders are arranging a briefing on Iran war developments, eyeing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a possible guest, as they push for more information before voting on a $95 billion package for Iran-related military aid, defense spending, and farm aid amid recent clashes and U.S. service-member deaths; meanwhile Senate discussions on a parallel stopgap funding bill and other Capitol actions add to a busy week ahead.

ICE funding stalls as Trump ballroom security plan triggers GOP backlash

The US Senate declined to advance a $70 billion immigration-enforcement funding package amid GOP disputes over linking $1 billion for security upgrades to Trump’s White House ballroom and a separate $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund. Democrats say the move blocks a controversial “slush fund,” while Trump defends the ballroom costs as a “very good expenditure,” signaling the row could influence midterm politics as lawmakers head into a recess.

Senate blocks full DHS funding again, leaving shutdown in place

The Senate rejected the House-passed, full funding package for the Department of Homeland Security for the fourth time, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold and ensuring DHS remains shuttered as lawmakers leave town. Democrats had pressed for narrower bills to fund specific agencies (TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA) to reopen operations, but Republicans objected, leaving negotiations with the White House deadlocked amid broader fights over immigration enforcement guardrails.

GOP rushes funding package to floor to end shutdown as immigration and voting-rule clashes roil negotiations

House Republicans moved to bring the Senate-passed, $1.2 trillion funding package back to the floor with a 10-day DHS funding stopgap to end a partial shutdown, while hard-liners press to attach the SAVE Act (voter-ID and anti-noncitizen provisions). White House lobbying and Democratic splits complicate passage in a razor-thin majority, and a newly sworn-in Democrat gives Republicans a slim 218-214 edge; a final vote could come Tuesday if the rule clears, but Senate resistance to the elections measure could stall any deal.

House Democrats Divide Over $1.2 Trillion Funding Bill Ahead of Floor Vote

Senior House Democrats are split on a $1.2 trillion funding package heading to the floor, with Rosa DeLauro signaling support to secure five full-year bills and a 10-day DHS stopgap, while Jim McGovern opposes due to immigration-enforcement concerns. Neither leader is expected to vote for the rule, and Republicans face pressure to attach the SAVE Act, which could prolong the shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to pass the package Tuesday, as a newly sworn-in Christian Menefee gives Republicans a slim 218-214 edge.

Capitol Shutdown Persists as Tuesday Vote on $1.2T Funding Bill Looms

The partial government shutdown continues into at least Tuesday as House Republicans delay a vote on the Senate-passed $1.2 trillion funding package amid Democratic opposition and intra-GOP tensions; a Monday Rules Committee meeting will set the stage for a Tuesday floor vote, but Democrats have said they won’t provide the roughly 70 votes needed under fast-track suspension, and some conservatives want to attach an elections bill, keeping passage uncertain. The package would fund most federal agencies through Sept. 30 and extend DHS funding for two weeks.

GOP Pursues DHS Reforms Amid Shutdown Countdown

With a Friday funding deadline approaching, Senate Republicans are pressuring for codified DHS reforms to temper immigration enforcement, aiming for a separate DHS bill or changes folded into the funding package, while Democrats insist reforms must be enacted in law rather than rely on executive action. Procedural hurdles and House resistance loom large as both parties seek a bipartisan path, amid safety concerns raised by recent shootings and a tough political climate around immigration and enforcement.

House to Vote on Amendments to $1.2T Funding Package, Forms Ethanol Policy Group

House Republicans plan floor votes on two amendments to the $1.2 trillion funding package—one to curb earmarks and another to block enforcement of vehicle kill switches—while a bipartisan ethanol policy working group is formed to seal a deal, and DHS funding remains a hurdle. Separately, former special counsel Jack Smith testifies before the House Judiciary Committee on Trump investigations, with Capitol Police officers in attendance as lawmakers frame the issue ahead of the Jan. 30 government shutdown deadline.

House to Vote on Ending Government Shutdown and Address Epstein Controversies

Congress has approved a bill to end the longest government shutdown in US history, which President Trump is expected to sign, reopening the federal government. The shutdown caused flight cancellations, staffing shortages at air traffic control, and delays in SNAP benefits. Meanwhile, bipartisan efforts are underway to extend health care subsidies and address other issues, with ongoing debates over legislative language and leadership.
