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.
