Overview
- The House approved the Senate-brokered package 222–209, with 216 Republicans and six Democrats in support, and President Trump has indicated he will sign it.
- The measure extends most government funding to Jan. 30, provides full-year appropriations for agriculture, veterans programs, military construction and Congress, reverses shutdown-era layoffs, and guarantees back pay.
- The deal omits an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, with only a pledge for a mid-December Senate vote as analysts warn of premium spikes and potential coverage losses without action.
- A clause allowing senators to sue for up to $500,000 over undisclosed access to their phone records drew bipartisan criticism, and House leaders plan a fast-track repeal vote next week.
- Eight Senate Democrats joined Republicans to advance the bill, prompting a sharp progressive backlash as parties brace for renewed spending and health-care battles before the Jan. 30 deadline.
