The House passed Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) continuing resolution 217-213, getting one step closer to avoiding a shutdown just days before the government is set to run out of funding.
The vote was largely along party lines. One Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted against the bill, and one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), voted to support it.
The bill advances against the backdrop of the Trump administration and its billionaire advisor Elon Musk continuing to ignore congressional appropriations bills such as this one, lawlessly shutting down agencies and ending funding for federal programs.
The Senate will now take up the bill.
TPM will continue CR coverage from the Hill throughout today. Follow along here:
