Congress approves short-term extension to avoid shutdown, buy more time for final spending agreement
bostonglobe.com/2024/02/29/nation/shutdown-government-funding-deadline-congress/
Quick Glance: House Approves Extension to Avoid Shutdown
- The House passed another short-term spending measure Thursday to keep federal agencies operating until March 8 and March 22, preventing a shutdown that would have occurred Saturday. The Senate is set to vote on the bill later in the day.
- The House has completed six of the annual spending bills funding federal agencies and is nearing final agreement on the rest. This short-term extension marks the fourth in recent months and is expected to be the final one for the current fiscal year.
- Congress is projected to authorize over $1.6 trillion in spending for the fiscal year that began on October 1, in line with the previous year. The temporary extension funds departments like Agriculture and Transportation until March 8, and others like Defense and Homeland Security until March 22.
- The renewed focus on spending bills excludes a separate $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with much of the funds allocated to replenish America's military arsenal. The House's temporary extension is now awaiting Senate approval before reaching President Biden's desk.

- Rumors suggest Transnistria, a Russian-controlled enclave in Moldova, may vote to join Russia on Wednesday - the first referendum since 2006.
- Russia's limited troop deployment in Transnistria currently poses no immediate threat to Ukraine during the ongoing invasion, but could lead to further instability in Europe and hinder Moldova's EU aspirations.
- Pro-Russian rebel officials in Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria appealed to Russia for 'protection' amid fears of escalating conflict with neighboring Ukraine.
- The resolution comes a day before President Vladimir Putin's annual address and amid Ukraine's setbacks on the battlefield.
