The GOP-led House gave final approval to the spending bill just ahead of a Friday midnight deadline otherwise the money under the law must be spent.

Congress narrowly approved early Friday a bill to rescind $9 billion in federal spending on foreign aid and public broadcasting, cuts that will affect Alabama Public Television, the nation’s oldest first statewide public TV network. The bill, backed by President Trump, will stop $7.9 billion for foreign aid and $1.1 billion for public broadcasting.
