"Biden Signs Stopgap Measure, Averts Government Shutdown"

President Biden signed a stopgap funding bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), to avoid a government shutdown just before the midnight deadline. The bill, which passed with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, will maintain current spending levels and provide $16 billion in disaster relief until mid-November. Notably, it does not include aid for Ukraine or changes to border policy. The signing of the bill concludes a tumultuous period in Congress and ensures the continued operation of government services, including payment for military service members, uninterrupted food assistance programs, and open national parks.
