Congress Strikes Tentative Deal to Avert Government Shutdown
TL;DR Summary
Congressional leaders have reached a tentative agreement to prevent a government shutdown by temporarily funding federal agencies through March 8 and March 22, while working on legislation to fund the government for the rest of the budget year. However, there is no immediate plan to approve the $95 billion emergency national security funds for Ukraine, Israel, and other allies. The deal comes as the House and Senate need to vote and approve the temporary funds before Friday's deadline, and President Biden has urged leaders to avoid a shutdown.
