Congress passes short-term funding extension, averting government shutdown ahead of Friday deadline

The US Senate has passed legislation to fund the government through early March, aiming to avoid a partial shutdown.
The funding measure must now pass through the Republican-led House of Representatives before being signed into law by President Joe Biden.
The bill holds federal funding steady at previously agreed levels and will provide more time for full-year appropriations bills to be negotiated and passed.
