House to vote on funding package to prevent shutdown.

The House is set to vote on bipartisan legislation to fund federal agencies and programs to prevent another government shutdown, including funding for science initiatives, commerce, justice, energy, water development, and the environment. A conservative rebellion led to splitting the bill into two parts, with the Senate expected to take it up next week. Congress has until January 30 to approve all funding measures, with plans to address the remaining bills quickly to avoid a partial shutdown. House Speaker Mike Johnson aims to pass three more funding bills next week, while GOP Sen. Susan Collins anticipates the next package to include funding for Homeland Security, State Department, and other key departments before finalizing the budget.
