UPDATE: The Latest on efforts to avoid a government shutdown (all times local):
7:58 p.m.
The Republican-led House has approved funding for President Donald Trump's border wall in legislation that pushes the government closer to a partial government shutdown.
The House voted 217-185, largely along party lines. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it has almost no chance of passing.
Senators already passed their bill to avert a shutdown by extending funds to Feb. 8. It did not include the wall funding.
Without resolution, government funding for various departments expires at midnight Friday.
Trump had given mixed signals on how hard he would push for $5 billion in border wall funds. But he dug in Thursday, telling House Republican leaders he wouldn't sign the Senate bill that didn't have the money.

President Donald Trump has told congressional Republicans he "will not sign" a spending bill passed by the Senate to avoid a partial government shutdown Friday, and he's citing an impasse over money for a border wall with Mexico.
House Speaker Paul Ryan says after leaving a meeting with Trump at the White House that he and other leaders are going to go back to Capitol Hill to "work on adding border security" to the legislation.
Trump is facing a backlash from conservative supporters who've urging to him to stick with an earlier pledge to force a shutdown in hopes of securing money for his long-promised border wall.
The wall was the top promise of his presidential campaign.

Earlier, Trump said in a tweet that when he "begrudgingly" signed an earlier spending bill, he was "promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn't happen!"
"We're right in the middle of a sort of a meltdown on the part of the Republicans," Nancy Pelosi says amid House Speaker Paul Ryan speaking with Trump. "You just have to ask them." https://t.co/0I4T9mqnMQ pic.twitter.com/4dy5Zrrrhi

Senators passed the measure on voice vote Wednesday without a roll call. It goes next to the House.
Without resolution, more than 800,000 federal employees could be furloughed or ordered to work without pay days before Christmas.
Voting was pushed back to late Wednesday and some senators sang Christmas carols in the chamber.
Just last week Trump said he would be "proud" to shut down the government over his demand for $5 billion for the wall.
If no bill is passed by Congress and signed by the president ahead of the deadline, more than 800,000 government workers would be furloughed or sent to work without pay just days before Christmas.
