The GOP bill would gut funding for health care, increase military spending, and fund mass deportation. It narrowly passed the Republican-led House, with just one Democrat voting to pass. Schumer argued that a government shutdown would give Trump and Elon Musk a “carte blanche” to gut federal services. Pelosi disagreed.

The Senate voted to advance a Republican-written bill to fund the government through the rest of the fiscal year, a process that has exposed a major fissure between Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and other members and activists irate that the party isn’t doing more to try to stop Donald Trump.

One crisis looks to be avoided as a midnight deadline looms to keep the government funded amid economic uncertainty and a brewing trade war.
