Senate Passes Trump-Backed Funding Bill, BUT …

The government will still shut down tonight …
The US Senate passed the funding compromise negotiated by the White House by a vote of 71-29 tonight, however the government will still partially shut down tonight until the House can reconvene on Monday to pass it again because of changes made in the Senate.
The deal is what we told you it was early on, with everything passing except for the DHS funding bill, will has a two-week extension for negotiation.
Here’s more from Fox 8:
The Senate voted overwhelmingly Friday to pass a major funding package consisting of five regular appropriations bills and a two-week stopgap measure for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) but the legislation won’t become law before parts of the government shut down at midnight.
The 71-29 vote caps a week of Senate drama after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, sparking a public backlash against the tactics of federal immigration enforcement officers and pushing Democrats to oppose the DHS funding bill that was part of a six-bill funding package.
Democrats vowed to block the entire funding package that had been carefully negotiated over months between Republican and Democratic members of the Appropriations Committee, putting Congress on course for what some lawmakers feared would be another prolonged government shutdown.
But senators managed to save the funding package by negotiating a last-minute deal with the White House to split off the Homeland Security appropriations bill from the five other spending measures funding the departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Transportation and State, among others.
While the legislation passed the Senate before government funding expires at midnight, it still needs to pass the House, which is slated to return on Monday, before going to President Trump’s desk for a signature.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told House Republicans in a Friday afternoon conference call that he hopes to quickly pass the bill under a fast-track process known as suspension of the rules, which allows him to bypass the difficult task of getting Republicans unified behind a rule to pass the package under regular order.
The suspension process requires a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules and pass legislation.
The Office of Management and Budget says it will issue an order directing a partial shutdown of government because of the lapse in funding.
The partial shutdown will affect a broad swath of the federal government, including the Department of Defense.
