Senate passes compromise spending bill, averting lengthy government shutdown
The Senate passed a spending package, averting a government shutdown by funding most agencies until September 30. A two-week Homeland Security funding extension was attached to the deal. The House will consider the package Monday, facing potential challenges from conservative hard-liners and some Democrats wary of the stopgap measure.
