News Brief
On January 29th, the U.S. Senate rejected a government funding bill that the House had already approved, inching federal agencies closer to yet another shutdown. With a 55-45 tally—short of the required 60 votes—the measure failed to advance. Every Democrat voted against it, joined by a handful of Republicans. Since funding for several federal departments was due to lapse on January 30th, lawmakers scrambled to negotiate a compromise. Senate Majority Leader John Thune proposed separating Homeland Security funding from the broader package. This crisis stemmed from a fatal immigration raid in Minneapolis earlier that month, where Homeland Security officers killed two American citizens. Following that tragedy, Senate Democrats refused to support any bill allocating funds to Homeland Security—a stance that, many believe, effectively derailed negotiations and left the government on the brink of partial closure.

PANews reported on January 30th that, according to Xinhua News Agency, the U.S. Senate failed to advance the government funding bill, which had already passed the House of Representatives, in a procedural vote on the 29th, putting the U.S. federal government at risk of a partial shutdown again. The Senate voted 55-45, failing to reach the 60 votes needed for the bill to advance. All Democratic senators voted against the bill, and several Republican senators also voted against it. Funding for several U.S. federal departments will run out on January 30th. Currently, lawmakers from both parties are still engaged in tense negotiations to avoid a shutdown. Senate Majority Leader John Thune previously stated that he was considering potentially separating funding allocated to the Department of Homeland Security from the funding bill for separate discussion.

Earlier this month, law enforcement officers from agencies under the Department of Homeland Security shot and killed two U.S. citizens during an operation targeting undocumented immigrants in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Senate Democrats subsequently indicated they would vote against a government funding bill that included grants to the Department of Homeland Security.

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
