MANY WINNERS, ONE BIG LOSER: The continuing resolution passed by the House and Senate and signed by President Joe Biden Saturday night will buy seven more weeks to resolve the deep divisions over the federal budget for the fiscal year that has just begun. The final version of the stopgap measure keeps spending at current levels, adds $16 billion for disaster relief, and includes $621 to fund procurement of a new Columbia class ballistic missile submarine, but it has no money for Ukraine.

The final vote tally in the House was 335-91 and in the Senate was 88-9.
