U.S. budget bill passes after 5-hour government shutdown

President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan budget agreement Friday morning, ending the five-hour government shutdown that had begun at midnight.

The spending deal will last for two years, according to an NPR article. 

The deal suspends hard caps on discretionary funding and includes a one-time emergency influx of about $90 billion to help with ongoing recovery efforts for the hurricanes and wildfires that have struck the country in recent months.
