Congress passed and the president signed a continuing resolution (CR) on September 30 extending current funding levels for the federal government until December 3, 2021, avoiding a government shutdown.

Senate Republicans on September 28 blocked a CR passed by the House that would have suspended the nation’s debt limit until December 2022.
