“A dispute over border security funding threatens to force a shutdown of vast swaths of the federal government in less than a week, as Congress and the White House struggled Sunday to reach a deal on long-term spending legislation,” the Washington Post reports.
“Funding for roughly 70 percent of the federal government — including the departments of Defense, State and Homeland Security as well as the IRS and Transportation Security Administration — will lapse at 12:01 a.m. Saturday unless Congress acts before then.”
Punchbowl News: “The White House clearly thinks it has the upper hand here due to Republicans killing the bipartisan Senate border deal recently.”
