Federal Budget & Shutdown Fights

House Republicans narrowly approved the rule to debate the Senate’s six‑bill bipartisan funding package 217–215 after several GOP holdouts flipped, averting defeat when initial 'no' votes like Reps. Thomas Massie and John Rose were overcome by late 'yes' votes from Byron Donalds, Victoria Spartz, Troy Nehls and Andy Ogles. The package — backed by President Trump and expected to receive a Tuesday House vote — would reopen the government and includes a two‑week DHS funding extension to negotiate immigration‑enforcement changes, while GOP efforts to attach the SAVE Act (a proof‑of‑citizenship voting measure) threatened to blow up the Senate deal.
