Congressional leaders on Tuesday night dropped the text of the latest spending bill, which includes money for disaster aid and would keep the federal government funded through March.

Congress has a strict Friday deadline to approve the stopgap measure, also referred to as a Continuing Resolution. Top lawmakers on both sides were hoping to release the text this weekend, but they were not able to do so because of conflict over economic assistance for farmers. 

The major legislation includes a bill to renew expiring health care programs, a one-year extension of the annual “farm bill” that sets agriculture and food policy, and over $100 billion for disaster aid, which would largely go to communities recovering from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, along with communities devastated by wildfires, according to Politico.
