A bipartisan spending deal couldn't clear Congress in time to prevent a lapse in federal funding for some departments. The House must pass it to fully reopen the government.
House Speaker Mike Johnson faces tough days ahead trying to muscle a federal funding package to passage and prevent a prolonged partial government shutdown as debate intensifies over the Trump administration's sweeping immigration enforcement operations.
Amid the partial government shutdown, we hear from House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., about funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
The government has shut down for the second time in three months, and while the funding lapse is far less severe than the one last fall, it could disrupt air travel, tax returns, and preparedness to natural disasters if it drags on.
