Congressional leaders on Tuesday struck a bipartisan deal to keep the government funded, kicking the deadline from Friday to March 14.
The 1,500-page bill buys time for the next Congress to finish its funding work for fiscal year 2025, while also providing funding for a host of other things. Republicans of all stripes are unhappy with the girth of it. Read what made it in the deal here.
The bill also paved the way for moving the Commanders' stadium from Maryland to Washington, D.C., a development that local officials are touting as a big win for the city.
Also on Tuesday, Republican senators battled behind closed doors over a proposal to beef up Social Security benefits for people eligible for non-Social Security government pensions. One GOP senator who attended Tuesday’s meeting described it as “an intense discussion.”
Republicans are also butting heads after Trump called to eliminate daylight saving time.
Plus, Trump has thrown his weight behind dockworkers’ demands for automation protections as he braces for a strike that could significantly disrupt the economy just days before taking office.
