The House passed a government funding bill to avoid a shutdown until September 30th, with the Senate needing to pass it before the deadline on Friday. Senate Democrats will need to join Republicans to meet the 60-vote threshold to advance the bill. Some Democrats have criticized the bill, calling it a “dumpster fire” and expressing concerns about the impact on the economy. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has stated that Republicans have not negotiated with them on the plan, while House Speaker Mike Johnson has placed the responsibility on Schumer to get the bill through the Senate. It is unclear if Democrats will support the bill in the end. Meanwhile, President Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports have taken effect, sparking retaliation from the EU. The bill also includes funding for Trump’s border wall. The Senate is expected to vote on final passage of the bill on Friday, with the outcome uncertain as both parties negotiate and debate the terms of the funding bill.
