U.S. House passes bill to fund federal agencies through September, now heads to Senate
SUMMARY: The House passed a funding measure to prevent a partial government shutdown, with a narrow 217-213 vote. Only one Republican and one Democrat opposed the bill. The Senate requires at least eight Democratic votes to advance the legislation, which faces criticism for granting broad spending discretion to the Trump administration. Some Democrats fear it could redirect funds away from initiatives like combating fentanyl. Despite bipartisan concerns, GOP leaders emphasize the need for consistent funding rather than short-term extensions. An alternative bill from Democrats could fund the government through April if necessary. The proposal may also impact funding for the District of Columbia.
