2026 Government Funding Standoff

Escalation: House averts shutdown with stopgap bill

The House voted 370-48 to pass a short-term funding bill that keeps agencies funded at current levels through Dec. 11. The move is aimed at avoiding a shutdown when current funding runs out at the end of September.
