The measure prevents a costly government shutdown on September 30 while giving lawmakers additional time to negotiate a long-term, responsible budget.\n\n\u201cKansans are sick and tired of last-minute Washington games and threats of a government shutdown that only create chaos for our families, federal workers, and local small businesses,\u201d said Davids. \u201cWhile no stopgap measure is perfect, this bipartisan agreement keeps the government open, provides much-needed stability through the end of the year, and protects critical community programs from reckless administrative overreach. Shutdowns are a self-inflicted wound that solve nothing. The only way forward is for both parties to sit down at the table, cut through the political noise, and deliver common-sense results for working families.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nDavids continues to push for a bipartisan agreement to keep the government open past the new deadlines set in today\u2019s legislation. A shutdown would have serious impacts on Kansas families and the overall U.S. economy. Americans would face disruptions to important benefits, service members would not be compensated, many small businesses would have to alter their operations, and federal workers would be furloughed and go unpaid.\n\nSpecifically:", 1, "2026-09-03T09:29:33Z", "2026-09-03T09:31:32Z"]], "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://davids.house.gov/media/press-releases/davids-votes-bipartisan-legislation-avoid-government-shutdown"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8649948760867119, "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"}
