The Senate, which doesn’t normally go first on funding bills, on Tuesday unveiled and advanced its own proposal for a short-term solution to fund the government for six weeks and stave off a shutdown.

In the House, Republicans advanced four full-year spending bills, handing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) an incremental victory but doing little to stave off a shutdown this weekend.
