This stopgap funding measure will fund the federal government for seven weeks, prevent a shutdown, and provide additional resources for the protection of public officials at a time of unprecedented political violence in America.\n\nOnly 1 Democrat joined Barrett and his Republican colleagues in passing this legislation.\n\nFollowing the vote, Barrett released the below statement:\n\n\u201cThis clean continuing resolution keeps the lights on and gives us more time to deliver a fiscally responsible funding package. I supported this bill to prevent a shutdown, continue paying our troops, and enhance protection for public officials on both sides of the aisle. Now it\u2019s Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats\u2019 turn to put partisan politics aside, do the right thing, and send this legislation to President Trump\u2019s desk to keep the government open for the American people.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nGovernment funding expires at midnight on September 30. The continuing resolution passed today is clean and straightforward CR \u2014 free of poison pills \u2014 and simply extends government funding until November 21. The only addition is $30 to improve security for federal public officials following the political assassination of Charlie Kirk.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barrett.house.gov/media/press-releases/barrett-votes-keep-government-open-protect-public-officials-political-violence"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6715962663292885, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
