The Senate passed a short-term government funding bill Thursday, sending the measure to the House and likely averting a shutdown before the midnight Friday deadline.
In a 72-25 vote, the Senate approved legislation that would keep the government funded through Dec. 16. The bill also provides more than $12 billion in emergency military and economic funding to respond to the war in Ukraine.
Additionally, it includes $1 billion in heating assistance for low-income families, $20 million for the water crisis in Jackson, Miss., billions in disaster aid and more than $112 million for federal court security.
