- The package funds the government through Jan. 30, reverses recent federal worker firings, guarantees back pay, and provides full‑year funding for SNAP and veterans’ programs.

- A bloc of moderate Democrats joined Republicans to advance the bill, drawing sharp backlash from progressives, and a test vote to extend the subsidies for one year failed 47–53 along party lines.
