🚫 Democratic and Republican leaders in the US Senate have agreed on a deal to continue funding the federal government and avoid a shutdown
The US Congress has until midnight on Friday to pass a measure to keep the federal government funded. This is not the only monetary deadline faced by Congress, as it has to take action on the debt ceiling, with the federal government nearing its current $28.9 trillion borrowing limit.
As of today, the House has passed this bill, however, it now faces an uphill battle in the Senate, which recently saw a bipartisan bill reached to avoid a shutdown.
