----------------------------------------
The House on Thursday passed a budget deal that will keep the government running through late September while cutting $38.5 billion in federal spending. The deal passed the House on a bipartisan 260-to-167 vote. The deal now goes to the Senate, which is expected to approve it later Thursday. President Obama must sign the measure into law by midnight Friday in order to avert a government shutdown.
