The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Senate voted 90-6 early Saturday to pass a short-term funding bill that would keep federal agencies funded through Dec. 11 and avert a shutdown before the midterm elections. The continuing resolution would largely extend current funding levels, giving lawmakers more time to negotiate a full-year spending agreement after the election. The bill now goes to the House, which passed its own stopgap measure last month, leaving the chambers to resolve differences before federal funding expires.
