The U.S. Senate voted 90-6 to approve a continuing resolution that funds federal operations through December 11 while delaying an Office of Management and Budget proposed rule on Uniform Guidance for grants [1][2].
The measure maintains spending at fiscal year 2026 levels across the 12 major appropriations divisions and includes targeted allocations, rescissions, and program-specific provisions [1].
A key provision temporarily blocks the White House from expanding political appointee control over federal grants, addressing concerns raised by local governments about administrative changes [2][1].
The bill now moves to the House for consideration after the August recess, with the goal of averting a potential shutdown that could begin October 1 [2].
Both reporting sources align on the core details of the vote and the grant-rule delay, supporting the verified status of the claim without reliance on single-source information.
