flag Senator Graham blocked a funding bill over disputed provisions, delaying action and risking a shutdown.

flag On January 30, 2026, Senator Lindsey Graham blocked a bipartisan government funding bill because it eliminated a clause that would have allowed senators to sue the government for damages if their phone records were taken during the January 6 investigation. flag Graham opposed the law's repeal by the House and called for votes on both its restoration and a different immigration enforcement measure. flag A compromise was reached after Senate Majority Leader John Thune promised floor votes on the contentious issues, despite his objection delaying Senate action and increasing the possibility of a partial government shutdown. flag The House still needs to act before the deadline, but the funding package would support the majority of federal agencies and extend DHS funding for two weeks.
