The House is debating the funding bill. The lawmakers will vote on it soon.
The bill heads to President Donald Trump’s desk if the House passes it.
More than likely, Trump will sign it right away since the White House has encouraged lawmakers to support the bill.
The House has returned for the first time since September 19.
The bill funds the government until January 30, 2026. It allocates funds to the agriculture, defense, and veterans departments, as well as the legislative branch, and reinstates federal workers who lost their jobs during the shutdown.
The Senate passed this version on Monday night. Seven Democrats and one Independent voted for it after the Republicans promised to hold a vote to extend the Obamacare subsidies.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries filed a discharge petition to extend the Obamacare credits for three years.
It needs 218 votes for a floor vote, though, which means four Republican signatures.

A quiet dream…. Assuming the House passes the measure and it then goes to the President
Trump nukes 100% of the non-essential employees before signing it…
Watch the heads explode….
Should that not be Schumer Schutdown?
It’s all useless theater
We need a petition for idiot Hakeem to be discharged from Congress.
Circulate the petition to discharge HJ; millions will sign it.
And exactly as predicted, that moron Massie voted against it.
It just blows my mind there are people still taken in by his BS.
Massie will not vote for a continuing resolution or an omnibus. Neither will Paul.
He WILL vote for an actual budget, offered in regular order.
But the left will not let that happen.
I agree with both of them. Let’s have a budget, not this CR nonsense.
My preference would be an automatic CR going into effect on 1 Oct that lasts until 1 Feb that sets the top line spending cap at 95% of prior FY and requires funding priorities:
1. Prior obligations- Debt service, Retirement, VA
2. DoD, State Dept, Homeland Security
3. Federal Intel and LEO Agencies
4. Dept Interior,.Dept.Transportation
Those get funded at 100% of prior FY. Subtract whatever that is from the 95% number. The remainder is to partially fund everything else…with the Executive granted authority to set priorities for funding among this last group.
Align the incentives for Congress to pass budgets on time in regular order and avoid shutdown which triggers not just a 5% cut in spending but delegates power to the Executive to prioritize spending for much of the govt.
To be repeated in few months.
Advocating for regular order and passage of the 13 separate appropriations bills, adopting that as his lodestar and refusing to compromise on it isn’t BS. Recall this spring when Massie was vilified for not voting for the omnibus BBB due to it increasing the spending cap and adding to the (then) $36 Trillion National Debt? We all heard the DC establishment promise that we needed to do it immediately so we could get things settled and back to Regular Order appropriations process.
Well here we are a few months later in Nov. National debt has now increased to over $38 Trillion. Only 3 or 4 of the 13 separate appropriations bills have been brought to the floor of the HoR for a vote much less passed the HoR. They’re supposed to get it done by end of September. That’s happened maybe 3 times in the last several decades.
We’re gonna spend something like 20% to 25% MORE on just the interest cost of the Federal Debt than on our entire DoD budget. That is a problem. We have Federal Revenue of about $5.2 Trillion. We gonna spend about $1.2 Trillion on interest costs for Federal Debt next year. That’s about 23% of every dollar in revenue going out the door for interest costs alone.
Ignoring the Federal Debt and refusing to make tough political decisions to cut current year spending (down the horizon spending cuts don’t seem to arrive) is gonna break us. Sooner or later there’s a decision point with three options; Repudiate the Debt, Pay off the Debt via current year spending cuts, or Inflate the money supply to use dollars intentionally made ‘worth less’ to finance the debt with dollars of less and less actual value, purchasing power each year. We’re unlikely to shift away from the last option, which is a large part of why gold is above $4K an oz. People including central banks are using dollars which are going down in value to purchase gold instead of Bonds.
agree
the welfare state is the doom of any positive venture as no matter how much “more” money you take in, than spend…. its never enough
the lefty calls that greedy when done by individuals ( when not poc) and corporations but not when their ( ironical) dependency on that very income is demanded…or else violence will be the action
so the debt balloons like a cat womens body
Sad to.say not just overt leftist. Plenty of those described as moderate or conservative want to continue spending more than we bring in on all.sorts of things. Some is.arguably worthwhile, some is definitely not but all potential spending should be competing against every other line item for inclusion into a balanced budget. Until we get that sort of heavy handed restraint on Congress/POTUS then politicians gonna pander with $ to ‘their’ constituencies.
“Seven Democrats and one Independent voted for it after the Republicans promised to hold a vote to extend the Obamacare subsidies”
Insane to make such a promise for so few votes
