    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Biden on Saturday night signed a stopgap funding bill, avoiding a government shutdown right before the midnight deadline.

    There’s plenty of time to pass Government funding bills for the next fiscal year, and I strongly urge Congress to get to work right away.

    Biden signing the bill into law caps a chaotic few weeks in Congress, and a day full of surprises in the Capitol.

    “Just moments ago on the House floor we passed by overwhelming numbers the ability to keep government open for the next six weeks,” McCarthy said in a press conference in the wake of the vote.

    House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) praised the work of his party to pass the bill.

    It ensures military service members are paid, that no federal workers will be furloughed, that food assistance programs will continue uninterrupted, that national parks will remain open and that travel will not be impacted.
