U.S. Government Averts Shutdown with Trimmed Funding Bill
Congress has successfully passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a U.S. government shutdown, extending federal funding until March 14. This bill, significantly reduced from its original 1,500+ page version, includes disaster relief funding but omits member pay raises and additional debt ceiling adjustments.
