The Senate approved a seven-week funding bill on Wednesday, preventing a partial government shutdown that was expected to begin on Saturday.
Senators passed the legislation by voice vote, which represented the final item on the Senate's to-do list as they wrap up their work for the year this week
It still needs to pass the House, which returned to Washington on Wednesday night, and be signed by President Trump.
Republican senators say that while they believe Trump is unhappy with Congress passing a short-term fix, they believe he will sign it because they were able to keep other controversial policy riders off of it.

We are ruled by lying charlatans in Congress and the Judiciary mostly..... I think POTUS Trump is up against a hellish situation.
Big accomplishment /s
Shut it down
Drain the swamp
VETO it!
Call the White House VETO McConnell/Schumer America Sellout Now 1-202-456-1414, time for DC Area Trumpers to start protesting in the Capital, Enough is Enough
Who are you doth protesting way too much?
“as they wrap up their work for the year this week “
If they recess this week then Trump can make recess appointments that will last through to the election.
Bet he’s got a lot lined up.
Not so fast! I smell a veto. Perfect set up for one.
Calling right now!
I’m sure there are more people calling on their free cell phones saying how good this idea is.
It makes me sick that I have to pay $50 a month for my phone to have my voice heard to my representatives, but others can just call for free on their free cell phones.
...sorry, bit of a rant there.
Voice vote, every damn one of them are guilty. Cruz, Lee, Paul, Cotton, Kennedy, etc.
I’ve been calling all day - couldn’t get thru
Thank you President McConnell. Job well done.
Continuing resolution after continuing resolution.
Trump said he wouldn’t sign anymore.
POTUS better veto it. If he doesn’t it’s a bright flashing sign reading: Trump is not running for reeelction.
I got home and had dinner a bit ago, but since I’ve started calling since the mrs went to sleep, I can’t get through, and sometimes it causes my phone to crash
no other number causes that
Boy, it didn’t take long for POTUS to go from telling Schumer he’d take the shutdown over the wall, or else...to reverse field and signal he’ll take nothing in exchange for giving away everything thing. What was it, one week?
