The House passed the bill earlier on Tuesday after 21 Democrats broke from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
The overall vote was 217-214.
Yes, that means 21 Republicans voted no on the bill.
“This bill is a great victory for the American people. Instead of a bloated and wasteful omnibus monstrosity full of special interest handouts, we’ve succeeded in passing a fiscally responsible package that actually cuts wasteful federal spending, while supporting critical programs for the safety, security and prosperity of the American people,” claimed Trump.

Yeah it’s obviously better than a budget produced by a d/prog majority but ‘Fiscally responsible’ is inaccurate until we spend less than the Federal govt receives in revenue. The total FY 26 budget (this one) is probably gonna be near $2 Trillion more than we bring in taking our National Debt dang close to $40 Trillion. Someday, probably soon, there’s gonna be real consequences when enough folks stop buying US bonds at yields below real rate of inflation and this is already happening among central banks. FWIW CPI using ’90s era metrics is just under 8%, using ’80s era metrics at 12% ish. Compare those with the ‘official’ rate in the current CPI and it becomes pretty clear why CPI metrics were altered.
There was a partial government shutdown?
Why wasn’t I notified? I’m cereal, people!
A partial shutdown is like partial dentures—neither one has much teeth.
americans having to vote to stay american!!!??
21 Dems and 21 repubs voted against party lines?
Odd
Uh huh. And what did those 21 Dems get?
They got the same as Deme who voted for it. Nothing 🤣
A chance of retaining their red districts?
