WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed into law legislation funding the government through the end of September, ending the threat of a partial government shutdown and capping off a struggle in Congress that deeply divided Democrats.

House Republicans are slated to vote Tuesday on their spending bill, known as a continuing resolution, that would fund the government at current levels through Sept. 30, 2025. The vote represents a major test for Speaker Mike Johnson -- as it remains unclear if the Trump-backed legislation can even pass in the GOP-controlled chamber.

The Democratic leader in the Senate says his party must "fight smart" against the Trump agenda, arguing a government shutdown would have made programs more vulnerable to cuts from Elon's Musk's DOGE.
