"Senate Passes Last-Minute Bill to Avert Government Shutdown Again"
The House and Senate passed a stopgap spending bill, preventing a government shutdown and angering pro-Trump Republicans who criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson. The bill will keep the government open until March 8, with a larger agreement to vote on six spending bills by that date. Despite split Republican support, the bill passed with Democrats' backing. Some Republicans expressed dissatisfaction with the agreement, but Johnson's leadership position seems secure.
