Faced with a hard deadline and the prospect of visible disruption to millions of Americans, the Senate set aside its deeper divisions long enough to pass a funding measure keeping the federal government operational through the election season.

In a fractured legislature, the willingness to choose continuity over confrontation, even temporarily, carries its own quiet significance.
