  • La., this week fell apart after being scrutinized by President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.

House Republicans have reached an agreement on a new spending bill aimed at averting a government shutdown, with the deadline looming at midnight on Friday. This bill proposes a 1% cut in federal spending, excluding defense, veterans, and disaster relief funds, which are maintained at current levels. The legislation also includes provisions for border security enhancements, such as resuming construction of the border wall and implementing stricter immigration policies. However, this proposal faces significant opposition in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where leaders have already dismissed it as a non-starter. The bill's passage in the House is also uncertain, with some conservative Republicans potentially opposing it for not going far enough in spending cuts, while Democrats are likely to resist the border security measures. This situation underscores the ongoing political divide and the challenges in reaching a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.
