The legislation also includes three of the twelve appropriations bills for Fiscal Year 2026, which notably provides funding for our farmers, ranchers, and veterans:\n\n\u201cFrom the start, Republicans made clear we wouldn\u2019t compromise on common sense. Thankfully, we didn\u2019t have to,\u201d Fedorchak said. \u201cThe completely avoidable Schumer Shutdown created needless hardship for millions of Americans, only to end up right where we started\u2014passing a clean CR. It is high time we get the government working for the American people again.\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nOn September 19, 2025, House Republicans passed a clean Continuing Resolution (CR) to continue government funding at current levels\u2014levels that Democrats enacted and have previously supported\u2014until November 21, 2025.\n\nHowever, the CR required 60 votes to pass in the Senate. Despite supporting these exact funding levels in the past, Senate Democrats voted against passing the CR, causing a lapse in government funding.\n\nOn Monday, November 10, after 41 days of a government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats joined Republicans in reaching the 60 votes needed to end the filibuster and pass a CR that funds the government until January 30. The legislation was sent to the House and passed today in a 222-209 vote.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "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://fedorchak.house.gov/media/press-releases/fedorchak-statement-house-vote-end-government-shutdown"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8552619256079197, "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"}
