| House passes final government funding bills, sending them to Senate ahead of shutdown deadline | |
| 2026-01-23 | |
The latest package, which was passed in a largely 341-88 split, will fund the Pentagon and the departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Labor and Transportation. A separate appropriations bill that was approved in a 220-207 vote funds the Department of Homeland Security. "Today, House Republicans completed another monumental achievement by completing Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations without a bloated omnibus bill or another continuing resolution," House Republican leaders said in a joint statement. "Together, all twelve appropriations bills provide responsible, full-year government funding, spend less than another continuing resolution, and codify reforms to cut waste, fraud, and abuse," the statement continued. "Once enacted, any last remnants of Biden-era spending will be replaced with President Trump’s spending levels. "Many doubted us, but Republicans have delivered once again in making the America First agenda a reality," they added. "We have finally turned the page, and we are not turning back." | |
