"Senate Reaches Spending Deal to Avert Government Shutdown, Trump Found Guilty of Fraud, Moderates Push for Short-Term Funding Measure"
Senate Republicans and Democrats have reached an agreement on a stopgap spending plan that would prevent a government shutdown on Sunday. The plan includes funding through mid-November, as well as providing approximately $6 billion for the Ukraine war effort and $6 billion for disaster relief. However, the measure may face resistance in the Republican-led House, where some far-right Republicans have threatened to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his post if he brings the legislation to a vote. The Senate proposal includes assistance for Ukraine and maintains federal funding at current levels, which many House Republicans oppose. McCarthy would need Democratic votes to pass it, potentially stirring backlash from his own party.
