💨 Abstract

The U.S. Senate is set to pass a stopgap spending bill, averting a government shutdown. The bill, backed by Democrats after a standoff over President Trump's plan to reduce the federal workforce, would cut spending by $7 billion, with a $13 billion reduction in non-defense programs. Democrats criticized the bill, but chose to avoid a shutdown as a worse option. The bill now goes to the Republican-controlled House.
