Congress has until January 30th to pass new spending legislation to avoid a partial government shutdown.

Lawmakers in both the House and Senate are in crunch time.

So far, Congress has passed six of the 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government. The House last week passed an additional two-bill package known as a minibus that would fund the State Department and the Treasury Department. Senators will take that minibus up after they come back from their recess.

That leaves just four bills for the lower chamber to clear โ€” including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill, which has emerged as a major point of contention between both parties.

As of Monday afternoon, appropriators had not released text for the four bills.
