President Biden signs $1.2 trillion US spending bill
==========
President Joe Biden signed a $1.2 trillion spending package into law, keeping the U.S. government funded through the fiscal year. The bill was passed by Congress and provides funding for key federal agencies including the departments of Homeland Security, Justice, State, and Treasury. However, it does not include funding for military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, or Israel. The bill received bipartisan support in the Senate with a 74-24 vote. The business community welcomed the passage of the bill and expressed commitment to working with policymakers on enhancing tax breaks. The bill also includes funding for the Defense Department, including a raise for U.S. troops. The passage of the bill highlighted deep partisan divides and disagreement within the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Conservative Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened to force a vote to remove Speaker Mike Johnson for allowing the bill to pass. The bill was cast as too expensive by opponents, while supporters emphasized its investment in national security. The last partial federal government shutdown occurred during Donald Trump's presidency. President Biden urged Congress to pass other bills related to national security and border security. The bill's passage was delayed due to negotiations on amendments, but the White House expressed confidence in its prompt passage. The bill passed the House with 185 Democratic and 101 Republican votes. Greene introduced a measure to oust Speaker Johnson, but said it was more of a warning than an immediate vote. Kamala Harris visited the site of the Parkland shooting and expressed support for new gun laws. Battles continued around Gaza's Al Shifa hospital, with Israel reporting 170 gunmen dead.
