If the Senate fails to pass legislation by midnight on Friday, then parts of the federal government will shut down.

The Senate will still have to pass the measures when it returns to Washington next week.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) called on Senate Republicans on Sunday to move a government funding package without funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in order to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the week.

The House passed this year's final batch of spending bills on Thursday as lawmakers, still smarting from last fall's record 43-day shutdown, worked to avoid another funding lapse for a broad swath of the federal government.

Appropriators this week put forward a fourth spending package, meaning they have reached a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on all 12 of the annual, must-pass funding bills. Half of those have already cleared Congress, while the third easily won approval in the House and is awaiting a vote in the Senate.

The House passed the government funding bill by a vote of 222-209, sending the measure to Trump's desk for final signature to reopen the government after the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Republican Reps. Thomas Massie and Greg Steube voted against the ...

Congressional negotiators in both parties released a massive bill aimed at fully funding the government ahead of a shutdown deadline on Jan. 30.

The House voted to repeal a Senate GOP measure allowing lawmakers to sue the government for $500K, attaching it to a funding bill that could keep the government open.
