"Senate's Stopgap Funding Bill Delays Shutdown Threat, Senators' Votes Revealed"
TL;DR Summary
Both houses of Congress passed a stopgap spending measure to delay funding deadlines, avoiding a partial government shutdown this weekend. The measure extends the shutdown date for some agencies by one to two weeks, with negotiations ongoing for full-year funding bills. The Senate's quick action averted furloughs for over 75,000 employees, but agencies may face pressure to expedite spending if full-year funding is approved.
