Senate Republicans signaled they will press ahead with the six‑bill spending package the House approved, refusing to strip Homeland Security funding, and urged Democrats to “find a path” to avoid a lapse. Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, vowed to withhold votes for any package that includes funding for DHS and ICE after two fatal Minneapolis shootings by federal agents — including the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti — and demanded reforms and accountability. The standoff raises the risk of a partial government shutdown ahead of the Jan. 30 deadline as leaders scramble for a compromise and public outrage. (cbsnews.com)
