Washington (CNN) -- The massive government spending package that has already passed the House is going nowhere fast in the Senate, where members from both parties are trying to make last-minute changes to the bill.
The Senate could vote as early Friday evening if an agreement is reached and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is warning senators not to leave Washington for the weekend. But it's increasingly likely that the spending fight that has dominated Capitol Hill in recent days could spill into next week.
The Senate is currently facing a Saturday deadline to approve the $1.1 trillion spending bill that would avert a government shutdown. But the chamber could give itself more time to consider the House-passed bill. Reid made a procedural move on Friday evening that would set up a vote on final passage in the Senate no later than Monday.

Dysfunction at its best... alot of loose nuts and bolts in D.C. that could stall this... but in the spirit of the Holidays they will probably fund the government through early next year....
