"Senate Averts Shutdown with Short-Term Funding Bill"

The Senate has passed a short-term funding bill to avert a partial government shutdown, moving the funding deadlines to March 8 and March 22. The bill, which aligns with the House, now awaits President Biden's signature. Lawmakers are in agreement on funding bills for various sectors and are working to enact them ahead of the deadlines. This marks the fourth extension since the failure to pass separate appropriations bills by the previous deadline.
