Congress Clears Stopgap Spending Bill for Biden, Moving to Avert Shutdown
Congress on Thursday sent legislation to avert a partial government shutdown to President Biden, racing to fund federal agencies through early March one day before money was to run out.
Over the strenuous opposition of far-right Republicans, the House voted 314 to 108 to approve the stopgap funding just hours after the Senate provided overwhelming bipartisan backing for the measure in a 77-to-18 vote, allowing lawmakers to narrowly beat a Friday deadline.
“There will not be a shutdown on Friday,” Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, said. “Because both sides have worked together, the government will stay open. Services will not be disrupted. We will avoid a needless disaster.”

What's at stake for China and U.S. in Taiwan's
When Taiwan heads to the polls on Saturday to elect a new president and legislature, their votes will be keenly watched at home and abroad. That’s because the self-ruled island of 23 million people has an outsized impact on the global business and trade, mainly because of its world-beating chips industry.
But China has ramped up military aggression against Taiwan in recent times, sending jitters globally.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has repeatedly said Beijing plans to “reunify” Taiwan with China. The Communist Party has claimed the island as its own territory, despite never having controlled it.

U.S. conducts another strike against Houthi
Since mid-November, the Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group backed by Iran, have launched dozens of attacks on ships sailing through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, a crucial shipping route through which 12 percent of world trade passes.
The United States and a handful of allies, including Britain, struck back, carrying out missile strikes on Houthi targets inside Yemen early Friday local time and thrusting the rebels and their long-running armed struggle further into the limelight.
The attack on Houthi bases came a day after the United Nations Security Council voted to condemn “in the strongest terms” at least two dozen attacks carried out by the Houthis on merchant and commercial vessels, which it said had impeded global commerce and undermined navigational freedom.
Here’s a primer on the Houthis, their relationship with Hamas and the attacks in the Red Sea.

Donald Trump ignores orders in closing argument of New York fraud trial
Donald Trump brought the campaign trail to the courthouse during closing arguments of his $370 million New York civil fraud trial on Thursday, delivering campaign speeches both inside and outside the courtroom to attack the case against him and the attorney general who brought it.
Trump’s decision to launch into a monologue at the conclusion of his lawyers’ closing arguments reflected the fact that the civil fraud trial is a serious threat to Trump’s business and brand – New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking to bar Trump from doing business in the state – as well as how Trump is eager to take advantage of the situation as he runs for president.
Judge Arthur Engoron has already found Trump is liable for fraud in the civil case, and he plans to issue a full decision by the end of the month.
