"Lawmakers Reach Funding Deal to Avert Government Shutdown"
TL;DR
President Joe Biden and congressional leaders have reached a government funding deal, potentially averting a shutdown. While a brief shutdown over the weekend is still possible, it may have minimal impact. The agreement includes spending for the Department of Homeland Security, which had been a point of contention. If the bills aren't passed in time, a longer funding gap could lead to a government shutdown with real effects for many Americans. The funding process has been delayed, with the next budget request already looming.
