CBS News • • nation
Key Points:
- The Senate passed a three-bill funding package with an 82-15 vote, covering the Departments of Commerce, Justice, Interior, and the EPA, and sent it to President Trump's desk.
- This legislative action precedes a weeklong recess and aims to prevent a partial government shutdown before the January 30 deadline.
- The House has approved eight of the 12 annual spending bills, leaving six key appropriations—including Homeland Security and Defense—to be resolved.
- Funding for Homeland Security remains contentious after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Good, prompting Democrats to demand accountability measures before supporting the bill.
- Negotiations continue, with Homeland Security funding potentially becoming a standalone bill while other remaining appropriations may be bundled together.
