  • The US Congress approved the Republican spending bill on Friday, just hours before the deadline, preventing a government shutdown. The bill's passing, however, unearthed the deep rifts in the Democratic Party,

The U.S. Senate passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill proposed by Republicans to avert a government shutdown, which has led to a significant rift among Democrats. This bill, which was passed with a vote of 74-24, includes funding for various government operations and was supported by a bipartisan group, despite opposition from some Democrats who felt it did not adequately address their priorities. The legislation notably includes funding for border security but omits support for Ukraine, a point of contention. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell worked together to push the bill through, highlighting the necessity of compromise in governance. However, this has sparked criticism from progressive Democrats, with figures like Senator Bernie Sanders expressing frustration over the lack of progressive policies and the inclusion of what they see as concessions to Republican demands. The passage of this bill has not only prevented a shutdown but also underscored the ongoing political divisions within the Democratic Party, particularly concerning how to handle negotiations with the Trump-influenced GOP.
