"Biden Signs Bipartisan $1.2 Trillion Government Funding Bill, Averting Shutdown"

President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan government funding bill that keeps the government open, invests in the American people, and strengthens the economy and national security. The agreement represents a compromise, rejecting extreme cuts from House Republicans and including provisions for child care, cancer research, mental health and substance use care, American leadership abroad, and border security. However, Biden emphasized that Congress's work is not finished, urging the passage of a bipartisan national security supplemental and border security agreement to advance national security interests and ensure border policies and funding.
