Overview

• Rep. Lauren Boebert likened the failed spending bill to a 'Diddy freak off' on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, referencing recent allegations against Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
• The continuing resolution (CR) aimed to extend government funding for six months and included the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
• Boebert and other Republicans opposed the bill, arguing it did not go far enough in reducing government spending.
• The bill failed in a 202 to 220 vote, with Democrats opposing the SAVE Act's voter ID requirements and some Republicans seeking deeper spending cuts.
• Congress faces a September 30 deadline to fund the government or risk a shutdown starting October 1.
