Congressional leaders reach short-term deal to hold off government shutdown - UPI.com
==========
Congressional leaders have reached a short-term spending deal to prevent a potential government shutdown until March. The deal avoids the shutdown deadline on February 2 and sets new government funding deadlines for March 1 and March 7. The short-term bill still needs to pass both the House and Senate before Friday to prevent a shutdown. Congressional leaders previously agreed on a bipartisan topline spending deal that set the spending limit for 2024 at $1.59 trillion. Some House Republicans, including members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, opposed the deal. However, the topline deal was praised by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries. The topline deal allows Congress to maintain important funding priorities and avoid a government shutdown.
