Government Shutdown Avoided

“The Senate has avoided a government shutdown with hours to spare and has agreed to vote tonight on the ‘cromnibus’ funding the government through September,” Roll Call reports.

“The government was scheduled to shut down at midnight Saturday, but the Senate cleared a four-day stopgap measure by voice vote after lawmakers in both parties sparred over who was to blame for the impending shutdown theatrics. And later Saturday, the Senate agreed to hold both procedural votes and final passage tonight on the cromnibus.”
