US Senate reaches funding deal to avert government shutdown

Senate leaders, including Majority Leader John Thune, Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R‑Maine) and Vice‑Chair Patty Murray (D‑Washington), unveiled a bipartisan short‑term continuing resolution that would keep federal agencies funded through Dec 11, 2026. The measure maintains current spending levels, extends programs such as SNAP, WIC and disaster‑relief funding, and blocks a White House Office of Management and Budget rule that would have politicized federal grant allocations.

The bill excludes the administration’s request for $1 billion to build “Trump‑class” battleships and is intended to prevent a third shutdown after two record‑breaking shutdowns in the past ten months. Thune said passing the measure was his top priority before the August recess, and the Senate plans to vote before lawmakers leave Washington for the recess.
