Disagreements about spending, Ukraine
Only hours before a closure would have started this end of the week, Congress supported a transient bill to subsidize the public authority until Nov. 17. The House passed the temporary measure in a 335-91 vote, with 90 conservatives restricting it. Legislators supported the bill 88-9, with nine conservatives went against.
