CNN: UPDATE - Amendment includes $ 5 Billion for wall.
The House's continuing resolution is the same Senate spending bill that passed last night, but it includes a new amendment, according to multiple GOP aides.

The amendment includes:

    $5 billion in new money for the border wall for the rest of the fiscal year but to remain available until Sept. 30, 2023.
    $7.81 billion in disaster funds through Sept. 30, 2019 in the aftermath of widespread wildfires and hurricanes Michael and Florence.
