Lawmakers Vote Today On Two Bills To End The Partial Government Shutdown

Democrats are offering to open agency doors for three weeks while bargainers seek a budget agreement. Republicans are offering to end the 34-day shutdown with $5.7 billion for President Donald Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall and a revamping of immigration laws.
