US House passes spending bill to avert shutdown
ai generated text
The US Congress has narrowly avoided a government shutdown by passing a crucial spending bill in the early hours of Saturday. The bill, which aims to fund federal agencies through mid-March, was approved by the House with an overwhelming margin of 366-34 and subsequently by the Senate with a margin of 85-11. The bill includes $100 billion in disaster relief for hurricane-hit states and farmers. However, a key demand from President-elect Donald Trump that lawmakers increase the federal debt limit was not included in the bill.
Obviously, the thing Donald Trump wanted, he didn't get.
It's good news that the bipartisan approach in the end prevailed... It's a good outcome for America and the American people.
The House Democrats have successfully stopped extreme MAGA Republicans from shutting down the government, crashing the economy and hurting working-class Americans all across the nation.
Last time I checked, Elon Musk doesn't have a vote in Congress.
This is a nasty TRAP set in place by the Radical Left Democrats! They are looking to embarrass us in June when it comes up for a Vote.
Unless the Democrats terminate or substantially extend Debt Ceiling now, I will fight 'till the end.
Congress must get rid of, or extend out to, perhaps, 2029, the ridiculous Debt Ceiling.
Things are going to be very different around here. This was a necessary step to bridge the gap, to put us into that moment where we can put our fingerprints on spending for 2025.
We are really grateful that tonight, in bipartisan fashion with overwhelming majority of votes, we passed the American Relief Act of 2025.
This is America First legislation, because it allows us to be set up to deliver for the American people.
In January, we will make a sea change in Washington.
It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces.
The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances.
So is this a Republican bill or a Democrat bill?
