Biden signs bill to avoid a partial government shutdown

LA Times  

The U.S Capitol stands behind piles of snow on Thursday in Washington. President Biden on Friday signed a short-term spending bill that keeps the federal government operating until early March. The bill averts what would have been a partial government shutdown starting Saturday. House Speaker Mike Johnson will continue to face pressure from House conservatives who want him to abandon a bipartisan agreement that sets overall spending levels for those full-year bills at $1.66 trillion. Those conservatives say that is too much money, but Democrats and moderate Republicans say Congress must abide by that deal and avoid legislative dysfunction during an election year.
