đš BREAKING: U.S. House narrowly passes funding bill government stays open!
In a thrilling political cliffhanger, the U.S. House of Representatives just approved a major government funding bill by a razor-thin 217â214 vote, sending it to the White House and ending a brief partial government shutdown after the weekend.
đ„ Quick recap:
âą 217â214 Thatâs how close it was as lawmakers voted to keep the government running and fund most federal agencies through September.
âą The bill now goes to President Donald Trump, who signed it, officially reopening much of the federal government after days of uncertainty.
âą Funding for most departments is secured â but Homeland Security only gets money through Feb. 13, setting up a new political fight over immigration and border enforcement in the weeks ahead.
In short: After dramatic back-and-forth in Congress, lawmakers pulled off a last-minute deal that keeps the lights on in Washington for now.
