Appropriations (Executive Session)
The Senate considered appropriations business during an executive session, focused on funding the government. Senator Thune said the chamber’s top priority next week would be passing a short-term spending bill to keep the government funded through the November elections, noting there have been two record-length shutdowns in the past ten months and arguing that another should be avoided for the sake of national security, the economy, and the public. He said members of both parties were working on the bill together and urged support to prevent a third shutdown.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
