Trump Signs Government Funding Bill to Avert Federal Shutdown

President Donald Trump signed a spending bill into law to keep the government funded through the end of fiscal year 2025.
The Senate passed the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act of 2025 with a 54-46 vote, despite criticism from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The bill notably increases defense spending by $6 billion while cutting non-defense spending by approximately $13 billion from the previous year.
Chuck Schumer criticized the bill, stating that a shutdown would enhance the Trump administration's power to deem agencies non-essential, risking furloughs for staff.
