Government Runs Out Of Money Again As Congress Fails To Reach A Deal

UPDATE: The Senate voted 71-28 to reopen the government by passing its budget deal early Friday morning. WASHINGTON ― The federal government ran out of money for the second time in a month early Friday morning, as lawmakers were unable to come to an agreement to prevent another lapse in funding. The White House began advising parts of the government to prepare for another shutdown late Thursday night, but there were still questions on whether the government would technically close, as Congress still had the ability to prevent the furlough of government workers if the House and Senate could pass a bipartisan bill overnight.
