With no real concessions won, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) oversaw the passage of a partial budget in the House that was signed by President Joe Biden. The total amount of the spending bill comes to $460 billion and will keep “essential” agencies funded through fiscal year 2024.

… The measure contains six annual spending bills and had already passed the House. In signing it into law, Biden thanked leaders and negotiators from both parties in both chambers for their work, which the White House said will mean that agencies “may continue their normal operations.”
Meanwhile, lawmakers are negotiating a second package of six bills, including defense, in an effort to have all federal agencies fully funded by a March 22 deadline.
“To folks who worry that divided government means nothing ever gets done, this bipartisan package says otherwise,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said after lawmakers passed the measure Friday night just hours before a deadline.
