Summary
On Sunday, congressional leaders introduced a bipartisan spending bill to fund federal agencies until December 20, avoiding a government shutdown when the new fiscal year begins on October 1. The agreement, announced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), will fund federal agencies at their current levels — with a provision for $231 million in additional funding for the U.S. Secret Service — pushing negotiations over the full-year spending bill until after the election.
