> The US House passed a stopgap spending measure by 370 votes to 48, extending federal funding through December 11. After clearing the Senate, the bill goes to President Donald Trump for signature and gives Congress more time to negotiate full-year spending bills for fiscal 2027 before the midterm elections.
