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 stopgap 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 Preddy 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. Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.

Prisoners, police officers and children are among the dead. Further south, seven members of the same family are reported to have been killed when a helicopter struck the tent they were sheltering in. One man said it felt like war had returned to the Gaza Strip. Israel's military said it was checking the reports but did not confirm it had carried out any strikes.
