House Passes Funding Bill

“House lawmakers on Thursday adopted a bill to fund the federal government into early next year, but a Republican revolt in the Senate against President Biden’s vaccine policies threatened to grind the government to a halt,” the Washington Post reports.

“The 221-212 vote in the House marked an important development if lawmakers hope to stave off a shutdown set that is set to occur at midnight Friday. But its fate in the Senate seemed in great doubt, as Republicans doubled down in opposition to its swift passage with just over 24 hours before the crucial fiscal deadline.”
