THE US House of Representatives passed a stop-gap funding measure late on Thursday that would avert a government shutdown, sending it to the Senate where Democrats have vowed to block it.
With the federal government set to run out of money on Friday at midnight (Saturday 1pm, Singapore time) - the eve of the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration - the bill cleared the House with a 230-197 vote.
