Senate stopgap blocks Trump grant overhaul, buys time
TL;DR Summary
The Senate released a bipartisan stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown, funding agencies through Dec. 11 at current levels, and includes a rider that blocks Trump from finalizing plans to put political appointees in charge of grant approvals for the duration of the patch; the measure also imposes immigration-enforcement funding constraints, omits major military boosts, and reflects negotiations aimed at pushing broader talks until after the midterms.
