Congress Avoids Shutdown With Last-Minute Deal | Wilmington News
Description
Congress races to avoid a shutdown before midterms with a short-term spending bill extending funding until December 11, keeping current levels while negotiating key White House requests — including blocking a billion-dollar “Trump-class” battleship fund and preventing Pentagon money-shuffling for Border Patrol. Democrats act early to secure their priorities as the September 30 deadline looms, with defense vs. non-defense spending tensions still unresolved — all while dodging another politically charged shutdown and resisting a new administration rule that could politicize grant approvals.
