House approves stopgap funding to avert a government shutdown

The House passed a short-term funding bill to prevent a federal shutdown, funding agencies at current levels through December 11 and buying time for a broader, full-year package. The measure, praised as an improved version from earlier this summer, also blocks DHS transfers to Border Patrol and delays a rule that would expand presidential authority over grants. Democrats worry the administration could use the grants rule to shift disaster-relief funding away from Democratic-led states, while leadership argues the stopgap is a necessary step to reach a bipartisan agreement.

House Approves Stopgap Funding to Avert Shutdown Ahead of Midterms

The House passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through December 11, preventing a shutdown ahead of the midterm elections; the bill keeps current spending levels, cleared 370-48, and now goes to the president after Senate approval, with negotiations over immigration-enforcement policy and broader election dynamics shaping the funding push.

Stopgap funding shields federal agencies through December ahead of midterms

The House approved a 370-48 stopgap funding patch to keep federal agencies funded through December 11, averting a pre-election government shutdown; the measure also delays the intoxicating hemp ban and blocks the White House from finalizing an OMB grantmaking rule, drawing mixed reactions from Republicans and Democrats as year-end budget battles loom after the midterms.

House passes stopgap funding to avert government shutdown ahead of the election

GOP presses fast-track stopgap as hemp ban sparks internal pushback

House GOP leaders moved a fast-track stopgap funding bill to avert a potential government shutdown, but several hard-liners threaten to derail the rule over a hemp-product ban and abortion-funding concerns, risking a freeze on floor business for the week as leadership weighs attendance and the Ways and Means panel’s next steps on a broader highway bill in a looming lame-duck session.

Hemp lobby bets on funding patch to delay the diet-weed ban

As a Sept. 30 funding deadline looms, the Trump administration and hemp-industry advocates are pressing to delay a mid-November ban on intoxicating hemp products by attaching language to a must-pass funding bill, with promises to finalize new rules. House Republicans seek changes before passage, while some lawmakers warn against a shutdown over the issue. Industry leaders expect a temporary regulatory bridge—such as age restrictions, tighter manufacturing and labeling rules, and import controls—to avert a full ban while regulations are completed.

House GOP aims for fast-track funding fix as deadline looms

House Republicans plan a quick floor vote on the Senate-passed stopgap continuing resolution to reset the Sept. 30 funding deadline to Dec. 11, potentially under suspension that requires a bipartisan two-thirds majority; Democrats may back the Senate version, and the White House supports the bill, which includes provisions the administration favors. The live updates also note Senate Democrats urging Netanyahu to curb West Bank violence and discuss the political impact of the current U.S. trade actions on November elections.

Senate approves temporary funding to keep the government open into December

The Senate passed a bipartisan continuing-resolution funding bill to keep federal agencies funded through December 11, forcing the House to take action to prevent a shutdown on Oct. 1. The measure blocks finalizing the White House’s plan to let political appointees oversee grant approvals during the stopgap and includes restrictions on new funding for ICE and the Border Patrol, signaling a December clash over grants and immigration policy. The White House supports the Senate plan, while the House already passed its own stopgap, which lacks the funding increases requested by the administration.

Senate approves temporary funding extension to avert government shutdown ahead of midterms

The Senate approved a funding extension through December 11 to avert a government shutdown ahead of the midterm elections, sending the measure to a House whose support is uncertain. The Senate bill differs from the House’s version by excluding ICE/CBP funding and blocking a proposed administration grants-rule change. In related moves, the chamber also confirmed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and rejected a voter ID measure, while Republicans signaled they will revisit a broader budget and elections package after the August recess, amid continued push from Trump.

Thune stalls SAVE America Act to keep government funded ahead of shutdown

Senate Majority Leader John Thune delays action on the SAVE America Act to prioritize a continuing resolution that would keep the government funded, arguing the Senate can’t count to 50 on a budget resolution yet. House Republicans have pushed a reconciliation framework that could include parts of SAVE, but GOP divisions persist over whether to advance both priorities at once, with ongoing negotiations ahead of the midterms.

Congress Fractures as Funding Talks Stall and Shutdown Looms

Republicans in the House and Senate are mired in internal fights over a summer funding plan, with the House pushing a stopgap bill and partisan add-ons while Democrats resist, raising the risk of a government shutdown before the midterms. The filibuster remains a sticking point, and Trump’s push on voter-ID legislation deepens divisions as lawmakers race to avert a funding gap with a two-month window before August recess.

White House presses for exceptions in stopgap as Congress races toward shutdown deadline

The White House has sent Congress a list of funding “anomalies”—specific exceptions it wants included in any stopgap bill before the Sept. 30 shutdown—to boost military health, national security systems, parks operations, and FEMA disaster spending. House Republicans are pressing a clean stopgap through Dec. 4 that excludes these anomalies, while Senate leaders weigh a patch that could incorporate some of them. Beyond funding, lawmakers are also grappling with Iran-war funding, budget reconciliation prospects, and a flurry of intra‑party and cross‑chamber negotiations as summer recess approaches.
