Senate Passes $460 Billion Bill to Avert Government Shutdown
TL;DR Summary
The Senate has approved a $460 billion spending bill to fund about half of the federal government through the fall, averting a partial shutdown just hours before funding was set to lapse. President Biden is expected to sign the bill on Saturday. However, negotiations for the other half of the government's spending bills, including for the Pentagon, are ongoing, with unresolved issues such as funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The bipartisan package extends funding for various federal programs and adheres to negotiated spending levels from last year.
