US Senate approves funding bill to avoid a shutdown before the election
The US Senate approved a short-term funding measure to avoid a government shutdown. This action occurred nearly two months before the fiscal year deadline. Democrats secured language to prevent Border Patrol funding transfers. A one-month delay was enacted for a ban on intoxicating hemp products. New regulations on federal grants were also blocked for the funding patch duration.
