House Passes Bipartisan DHS Funding Bill
The US Farm Bill, valued at approximately $500 billion, has been delayed for three years. Republicans are expected to elaborate on the proposal details. The decision has drawn criticism due to potential risks of severe damage to regional flora and fauna. A representative stated that the $2 billion in funding will save millions of lives. Security for the funding is now established following a 76 day cutoff, according to the report. The Department of Homeland Security received funding following a simple voice vote on the House floor. The US House of Representatives gave final approval on Thursday to a 45-day extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The program was set to expire on Friday but is now extended through June 12. The short-term measure follows a dispute regarding a longer reauthorization of the surveillance program.
