Washington successfully averted a government shutdown after a crucial Senate vote on a continuing resolution secured bipartisan support, allowing the government to remain operational until September 30. Despite concerns over the spending plan, which favors Republican priorities, Senate Democrats agreed to back it, citing the risks of a shutdown under Donald Trump's leadership as a greater concern. The agreement includes increased spending for defense and immigration, but also warns of exacerbating the nation’s already significant fiscal challenges.
