The Senate has passed a short-term spending bill to fund the government until March 14, with overwhelming bipartisan support. President Biden signed the measure into law after days of chaos caused by President-elect Donald Trump’s last-minute intervention. The bill includes federal funding and $100 billion in aid to communities recovering from natural disasters. It also extends federal farm policy and aid to farmers for one year. Despite demands from Trump, the bill does not address the nation’s borrowing limit. The Senate also approved the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act, providing $12 million a year for pediatric cancer research. The White House supported the agreement, ensuring vital government services continue for Americans and granting assistance to hurricane-impacted communities. The congressional clash evoked memories of Trump’s first term, with surprise policy demands being made in real time through social media. The bill aims to provide stability and vital services for Americans during a critical time.
