The Senate could vote later today on a bipartisan funding deal to end the government shutdown. NPR's Deirdre Walsh reports the bill also needs to clear the House. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the new package extends spending levels through the end of January, but it also includes several full-year funding

bills impacting key programs. Year-long funding for SNAP, for WIC, for veterans, for essential farm programs, and for a number of other critical priorities will be met. House Speaker Mike Johnson has advised lawmakers to return to Washington. And if the Senate acts quickly, the House could take up the deal as early as Wednesday. Most House and Senate Democratic leaders panned the deal because it does not address expiring health care subsidies. But Democrats who helped craft it say they did get a commitment for a Senate vote on health care legislation by mid-December.

Deirdre Walsh and PR News, the Capitol. President Trump says he wants to issue what he's calling $2,000 dividends from tariff revenue But as NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports, the Treasury Secretary says there's no formal proposal yet. President Trump on social media has twice in recent days suggested the payments for low and middle income people. However, on ABCs this week on Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said the money may not take the form of payments, but could simply include tax cuts already passed into law. It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the President's agenda. You know, no tax on tips on overtime, no tax on social security, deductibility of auto loans.

NPR asked the White House for any specifics on a plan. An official not authorized to speak on the record said, quote, the administration is committed to putting this money to good use for the American people. Danielle Kurtzleben and PR News. Trump's ability to unilaterally levy tariffs is being challenged before the Supreme Court. He argues a ruling against him would devastate the economy. And a small group of National Guard members in Ohio is questioning President Trump's deployments to various U.S. cities. They spoke to NPR on the condition of anonymity, NPR's Cat Lawnsdorf reports.

A few guard members in Ohio started an encrypted group chat so they could talk about what was happening with the deployments and process them together. I really went to like a dark place when they sent the troops to L.A., eventually D.C. and now like Chicago, like this is just not what any of us signed up for. NPR met with three of them to talk about how they're feeling, what they would do if they were required to go on one of Trump's deployments and if they had thought about ending their military careers. The Trump administration has said the deployments are necessary for law and order. Federal judges and local governments have disagreed. These three feel deeply uncomfortable with the possible direction they could be headed. Kat Lonsdorf, NPR News, Ohio. Major U.S. stock indexes closed up today.

all covering up a tumultuous life. The book of prize judges praise author David Saloy's sparse use of language.
