Stopgap Funding Bill Passed, Signed & What We Won

Update: Early Saturday morning, the Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill by a margin of 85-11, with most Democrats and Republicans supporting the measure.

Senators voted to pass a new version of a stopgap spending bill early Saturday morning after the midnight deadline for a partial government shutdown came and went.

Original Story

The Senate advanced the third version of a short-term spending bill, and it will now head to President Biden’s desk, who has already signaled that he will sign it.

This comes after the House passed the short-term spending bill with 366 yes votes, surpassing the necessary two-thirds.

Since obligations of federal funds are incurred and tracked daily, agencies will not shut down and may continue normal operations.

Mike Johnson said Donald Trump backs the bill.

The Big Wins

• FEMA gets $29 billion for hurricane relief
• Farmers score $20 billion for disaster aid
• Another $10 billion goes straight to farmers’ pockets for economic support
• No more money for that State Department censorship outfit (the “Global Engagement Center”)
• No protection for the January 6th Committee
• Lawmakers won’t see a pay raise this year

This Is Incredibly Well-Said!
