Government Shutdown Looms as Senate Considers Funding Deal; Actress Catherine O'Hara Dies; Bird Flu Outbreak Declared in Colorado
Washington, D.C. – The United States faced the potential of a partial government shutdown Friday evening as the Senate debated a funding deal with only hours to spare before a midnight deadline. Meanwhile, in the entertainment world, actress Catherine O'Hara, known for her roles in "Beetlejuice" and "Home Alone," died at the age of 71. Separately, Colorado declared a disaster emergency due to a presumptive outbreak of bird flu at a facility housing 1.3 million chickens.
The Senate was one step closer to passing a funding package after Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham lifted his blockade, according to ABC News. The deal, struck by Senate Democrats and the White House, involved separating the Department of Homeland Security funding bill from a package of five other funding bills. This eleventh-hour agreement obtained the consent of all 100 senators to advance ahead of Friday night's deadline, ABC News reported. GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham initially objected to fast-tracking the agreement but later allowed it to move forward, according to CBS News.
However, CBS News reported that despite the Senate agreement, a partial shutdown was still possible because the House of Representatives was not expected to return to Washington until Monday to approve the deal. The agreement involved passing five long-term spending bills while extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks to allow for talks over reforms to immigration enforcement, according to CBS News.
In other news, actress Catherine O'Hara died, her manager confirmed Friday, ABC News reported. O'Hara was known for her roles in shows and films like "Schitt's Creek," "Beetlejuice," and "Home Alone," according to ABC News. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to ABC News that it received a call for medical aid earlier that day at 4:48 a.m. at an address connected to O'Hara. She was transported to a hospital in serious condition, according to the LAFD. Details about the actress's cause of death were still unknown.
Also on Friday, Colorado Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera declared a disaster emergency for a massive outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Weld County north of Denver, Fox News reported. The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) told FOX31 News there was a presumptive positive test for HPAI, also known as the bird flu, at an egg laying facility in the county. CDA officials told the outlet that dead chickens were being tested at the facility, which is home to 1.3 million chickens, due to an "elevated mortality report," according to Fox News. The number of potentially infected birds was unclear.
