US Congress avoids government shutdown with spending bill
The US Congress agreed on a short-term spending bill on Sunday that would fund federal agencies and infuse additional funds to the Secret Service, avoiding a government shutdown. The measure will be voted on this week, but congressional leaders showed bipartisan support for a "bare-bones" bill that would avoid shutting down the government so close to a "fateful" election.
