  The United States Senate in Washington, D.C By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor WASHINGTON, D.C. - Under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Democratically-controlled U.S. Senate passed a debt ceiling bill Thursday night that averts what could have been a first-ever default had Congress not passed the measure by the June 5 deadline. All that is needed now is for President Joe Biden to sign the controversial measure into law, which he has promised to do.

Sen Sherrod Brown, a seasoned Democratic lawmaker who resides in Cleveland, voted yes and Ohio's other U.S. senator, J.D

If that deadline is not met, the nation's bills will go unpaid, according to the treasury department, and the country will ultimately fall into default for the first time in American history. The debt ceiling bill at issue,  H.R. 3746,  suspends the country's $31 trillion debt limit for two years to avoid a government shutdown. Titled the "Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023," it passed the Republican-dominated House 314-117 and now heads to a split Senate of sometimes cantankerous lawmakers for a vote that could come momentarily. If it passes the Senate, which Democrats control,
