House passes funding bill - averting shutdown crisis
In a critical vote, the House approved a stopgap funding measure that has averted a looming government shutdown. The narrowly divided chamber delivered a decisive blow to fiscal brinkmanship, sending the bill to the Senate. This move signals a major partisan victory and stabilizes federal operations while setting the stage for further debates over spending.
