The federal government is partially shut down this morning.
NPR's Lou Garrett reports Congress failed to fund some of the country's largest agencies and departments before a Friday night deadline.
The Senate advanced a massive five-bill appropriations package Friday night.
It funds the Pentagon, departments of transportation,
housing and urban development, health and human services, labor and education.
It also includes a stop-gap measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks.
The Senate funding package comes after the White House struck a deal with Democrats who want serious changes in DHS policy after its agents shot and killed Alex Pretty in Minneapolis.
The funding package now goes back to the House, which returns Monday.
The government will remain partially shut down until the House advances the package and President Trump signs it.
