WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed into law legislation funding the government through the end of September, ending the threat of a partial government shutdown and capping off a struggle in Congress that deeply divided Democrats.

The speaker can only afford to lose one Republican before a second defection would defeat the bill if all members are voting and present. Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie has said he will vote against the measure, prompting President Donald Trump to say he should be primaried. Johnson was asked if he agreed with the president.

A bill that was introduced by Senate Republicans to define so-called "Trump derangement syndrome" as a mental illness has provoked a backlash, with some saying the bill trivializes mental health care in the state regardless of the seriousness of its original intent.

The proposal, which one Republican described as a “tongue-in-cheek” measure designed to make a point about criticism of President Donald Trump, was derided by Democrats as trivializing mental health and minimizing legitimate concerns.
