"House Passes $460 Billion Government Funding Bills to Avert Shutdown Deadline"

The House passed a package of six government funding bills, aiming to beat the shutdown deadline, with the Senate next in line to consider the measure. The bipartisan package, backed by top Democrats and Republicans, represents a breakthrough after months of stopgap bills. It includes funding for various government departments and programs, with Democrats emphasizing support for social safety net programs and infrastructure investments, while Republicans highlight conservative policy victories and cuts to certain agencies. The Senate aims to move quickly to get the bills to President Biden's desk before the looming deadline, with the State of the Union address further compressing the timeframe.
