The Senate voted 59-41 on the bill saying that Trump cannot declare a national emergency over the wall. That means that the Dems got 12 Republicans to vote for it, but unfortunately you need 67 to overturn the veto Trump has promised to make and overturning the veto is very unlikely, so this will probably proceed. That the bill passed both houses of Congress with at least a few Republicans voting for it both times is good, but that a vast majority of the Republican Party continue to act as Trump's loyal servants is quite obviously awful. Still, 12 of them voting for this is good, and better than many people were expecting.
