Summary
President Joe Biden signed a government funding bill, averting a shutdown and maintaining current funding levels through March 14.
The bill includes $100 billion in disaster aid and a one-year farm bill but excludes a debt limit extension sought by Donald Trump.
Despite vocal opposition from Trump and Elon Musk, both the Senate (85-11) and House (366-34) passed the bill with bipartisan support.
The White House highlighted the bill’s disaster relief provisions and rejection of tax cuts for billionaires as key achievements.
Whew, the manufactured crisis was averted once again.
