"US House Passes Bipartisan Bill to Avert Government Shutdown"
TL;DR Summary
The US House has passed a bill to avert a government shutdown, with Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson relying on Democratic votes as some far-right Republicans dissented. The bill, which would fund the federal government into early 2024, received bipartisan support and easily cleared the two-thirds threshold needed for passage. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to be voted on soon. Johnson's plan, which extends funding for federal agencies into the new year, aims to give lawmakers more time to draft longer-term spending bills.
