Senate okays stopgap funding to avert shutdown through December
TL;DR
The Senate approved a 90-6 continuing resolution to fund the government at current levels through December 11, avoiding a shutdown ahead of the midterm elections; it now goes to the House, and it also blocks a White House budget rule and closes a loophole to prevent misallocated funds for border enforcement, buying time to finalize spending.
