US Senate Democrats debate path forward on government funding bill

Senate Democrats face pressure after the House passed a funding bill by 217-213, as reported by Scott Wong, Kyle Stewart, Sahil Kapur, and Rebecca Kaplan.
Only one Democrat voted for the funding bill, while most opposed it due to its lack of provisions for spending oversight, according to sources.
The funding bill includes significant cuts to nonmilitary programs and raises defense spending, impacting various agencies.
Senate Democrats must navigate the GOP's strategy to blame them for a potential government shutdown if they reject the bill.

Democrats are all but guaranteed to ignore Adam Kinzinger's warning about 'falling into a GOP trap'

In the time since Adam Kinzinger emerged as a key critic of Donald Trump, he’s dished out some stellar advice.
