Overview

  • The Senate cleared the package 60–40 with eight Democrats and one independent joining Republicans, funding most government operations through January 30 and enacting three full-year appropriations for military construction, agriculture and the legislative branch.
  • The bill restores SNAP through September, guarantees back pay, reverses recent layoffs and bars further federal reductions in force through January.
  • The House Rules Committee advanced the measure 8–4 after rejecting Democrats’ bid to add a three-year extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits.
  • A controversial rider would let senators sue over undisclosed phone-record searches tied to January 6 investigations, reportedly retroactive to 2022 and allowing potential damages up to $500,000.
  • President Trump has endorsed the compromise, and House passage is expected today despite opposition from Democratic leaders over the missing health subsidy extension.
