DHS funding bill moves to House after early morning passage in Senate

The Senate voted early Friday to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security, a move intended to reopen large parts of an agency that had been partially shut down for more than a month. The partial funding should ease lengthy security delays that have affected some airports, reducing operational disruption for airlines and travel logistics; the action is procedural and not expected to have material market or fiscal implications.
