Overview
- The Senate approved a Trump-backed package that funds most federal agencies through September and extends Department of Homeland Security money for two weeks.
- House passage is uncertain as Speaker Mike Johnson confronts GOP defections and Democrats plan to oppose the procedural rule needed to bring the bill to the floor.
- Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told Johnson Democrats would not accelerate the vote under suspension, complicating efforts to move the measure quickly.
- A partial shutdown began when funding expired, with limited immediate impact because many departments remain financed and core benefits and essential operations continue.
- Negotiations over DHS funding hinge on Democratic demands for reforms including body cameras, clear identification for agents, an end to roving patrols, and tighter rules for home entries and arrests, which several Republicans oppose.
