The Senate passed a $1.4 trillion spending package Thursday to avoid a government shutdown. The package includes a $738 billion defense bill — one of the most expensive military bills in U.S. history. The spending package also includes $1.4 billion for Trump’s border wall and allocates $25 million for gun violence research for the first time in 20 years.
