  "summary": "The Senate passed a short-term funding bill on Saturday, extending federal government funding through December 11 and pushing the next potential shutdown deadline beyond the November midterm elections. The measure, a continuing resolution, extends current funding levels and includes several provisions negotiated by lawmakers, such as preventing funds from being transferred to the Border Patrol and delaying the implementation of a national ban on most intoxicating hemp products by one month. However, six senators opposed the Senate's version of the stopgap, with three Democrats, one Independent, and two Republicans joining forces against it.",
