#HouseRepublicans, the #Senate, #Democrats & the #WhiteHouse had been at loggerheads over funding levels for the #DHS. For days, they had been litigating disagreements that threatened to imperil the spending package that also funds the #Pentagon, the #StateDepartment & other #FederalAgencies. They are facing a midnight deadline on Fri to pass the measure & avert a lapse in funding.

#House Passes $460B Spending Bill to Avert a #GovernmentShutdown

Staring down yet another spending deadline, Speaker #MikeJohnson again relied on #Democrats votes to push thru a bill to fund ~½ the govt till fall.

The 339-to-85 vote capped months of heated negotiations over #FederalFunding that repeatedly pushed the govt to the edge of #shutdown as #Republicans pressed for cuts & conservative policies.

The measure would package together 6 spending bills, extending funding through Sept 30 for dozens of federal programs covering #agriculture, #energy & the #environment, #transportation, #housing, the #DOJ & #veterans. Top lawmakers were still negotiating spending bills for the other half of the #government over the same period, including for the #Pentagon, which #Congress must pass by March 22 to avert a lapse in #funding.

On Wed, #MikeJohnson again relied on #Democrats to push the spending #legislation across the finish line, after many #HouseRepublicans refused to back it because it did not cut spending or accomplish the party’s most sweeping & #divisive #policy demands, including measures to limit access to #abortion.

#House #Republicans secured some small victories, including #cuts to the Bureau of #Alcohol, #Tobacco, #Firearms & #Explosives (#ATF), the #FBI & #environmental programs.

#Republicans said they hope to limit nondefense spending in fiscal yr 2024 to ~$704B, $40B less than fiscal yr 2023. #House & #Senate ldrs had already agreed earlier this yr to spend ~$1.7T in …discretionary spending, which includes domestic prgms & #military spending but not …prgms such as #SocialSecurity & #Medicare.

Legislative action must be complete before the Mar 8 funding deadline that was set late last week to avoid a partial #GovernmentShutdown.

Another, larger cliff awaits just a wk later, when funds for the rest of the govt, including the & depts, will also expire, unless acts.
But Thursday’s bill would push the funding deadline for several agencies — including the depts of Affairs, , , , , & , & the — until Mar 8. Finances for the rest of the federal govt would expire on Mar 22, 2 wks later than under current .

The #Senate passed the #legislation, 77-18, early Thursday afternoon. The #House followed suit, 314-108, (please pause & acknowledge the difference between #HouseRepublicans 49% & #Republicans in the Senate 36%) hours later, after #GOP hard-liners launched a last-minute pressure campaign to attach partisan border security measures to the funding package. The votes send the #legislation to President #Biden to sign into law and avert a partial shutdown ahead of the deadline.

The U.S. Senate voted late last night to avoid a government shutdown.

ABC News reports the move "will keep the government funded at 2023 levels. The bill extends government funding until Jan. 19 for the Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Energy departments, as well as for military construction. The rest of the government is funded until Feb. 2."

The Biden administration and fellow Democrats are panning a proposal by House GOP leaders for a two-part U.S. government spending bill that would fund certain agencies through one date and other agencies through another.

House Republicans nix votes on two funding bills as shutdown deadline nears

"I don't think the Lord Jesus himself could manage this group," said Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas.

"We’re still dealing with the same divisions we always have had," said another House Republican. "We’re ungovernable."

@ClintBarton

The Republican Party does not know how to govern.

They know how to make ransom demands.

They know how to feed the rich.

They know how to collapse the separation of church and state.

They know how to turn the nation into an unregulated shooting gallery.

They know up to make stuff up and lie from morning ‘til night and demand minority authoritarian rule.

But governing is way out of their wheelhouse.

@TonyStark @ClintBarton These days, the GOP is simply a front for dark money, it's not a governing body. The morbidly wealthy select their preferred candidates, get them elected, then provide their instructions. The GOP no longer responds to the needs or desires of constituents, they're entirely in the pocket of their owners. They're also disposable so they're no longer motivated to genuinely represent their constituents. Viewed this way, their self-destructive behavior makes sense.
