WASHINGTON (AP) - Fights over abortion and President Donald Trump's U.S.-Mexico border wall have thrown Senate efforts to advance $1.4 trillion worth of agency spending bills into disarray.

At risk is one of Washington's few bipartisan accomplishments this year.

A government shutdown remains unlikely, but agencies face weeks or months on autopilot while frozen at this year's levels if the logjam isn't broken.

At issue are 12 annual budget bills to fund the day-to-day operations of the government. The bills are needed to fill in the details of this summer's budget and debt deal, which reversed cuts scheduled to slash the Pentagon and domestic programs and increased the government's borrowing cap so it won't default.

The Senate Appropriations Committee has been beset by infighting in advance of a bill drafting session.
