“The Senate approved a $1.2 trillion package funding federal agencies in the early hours of Saturday morning, missing its midnight deadline but averting a partial government shutdown,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The passage of the measure in a 74 to 24 vote wrapped up months of drama in Congress that centered on conservatives’ demands for deeper spending cuts, completing work on funding the government through the end of the fiscal year in September.
The measure, which passed the House on Friday, now goes to President Biden for his signature.”
