UPDATED with Senate passage, 4:01 PM: The Senate passed a bill to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year and avoid a shutdown. The Republican-written bill passed 54-46, with Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and independent Angus King voting with Republicans for it. Republican Rand Paul was the sole GOP vote against it.

The Senate finds itself in a familiar position, working to avoid a partial government shutdown with just hours to spare.
