Trump, Schumer reach government funding deal, sacrifice DHS spending bill in the process

Key Highlights

• "The separation of the five bipartisan bills the Democrats asked for, plus the two-week DHS [continuing resolution] has been agreed to," Schumer said in a statement.
• Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the "only thing that can slow our Country down is another long and damaging Government Shutdown."  SENATE GOP HOLDOUTS REFUSE TO BUDGE AS SHUTDOWN TALKS CONTINUE The White House and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N. Y., reached an agreement to fund the government Thursday, sidelining the controversial DHS funding bill in the process.
• (Anna Moneymaker/; Elizabeth Frantz/Reuters) "I am working hard with Congress to ensure that we are able to fully fund the Government, without delay," Trump said.
• "Republicans and Democrats in Congress have come together to get the vast majority of the Government funded until September, while at the same time providing an extension to the Department of Homeland Security (including the very important Coast Guard, which we are expanding and rebuilding like never before)."Hopefully, both Republicans and Democrats will give a very much-needed Bipartisan "YES" Vote."  The deal brokered between the two would have the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill stripped from the broader six-bill package.
• Schumer and Democrats have been adamant that if the bill were sidelined, they’d vote for the remaining five, which includes funding for the Pentagon.
