    Senate plots permanent end to government shutdowns with bipartisan push

    The US Senate is taking steps to prevent government shutdowns with a bipartisan push, introducing the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act to automatically trigger short-term funding extensions and impose limits on lawmakers. Senators James Lankford and Maggie Hassan are leading the effort, building on Senator John Kennedy's rule change to prevent lawmaker pay during shutdowns. The goal is to end government shutdowns forever and ensure Congress feels the same pain as federal workers.
