Senate Averts Shutdown with Funding Deal | Lubbock News
Description
Washington’s lawmakers are racing to avoid a government shutdown before the midterms by passing a temporary funding bill that keeps agencies running until early December. The Senate’s version, which the House already approved in principle, includes key compromises — like excluding a billion-dollar battleship fund request and blocking the administration from reallocating money to Border Patrol — while delaying a controversial grant review rule that could politicize federal spending. With only 12 annual budgets left unfinished, this extension buys time for Congress to settle major fights over defense vs. non-defense spending, as Republicans push for more military funding and cuts elsewhere.
