This bill provides a short-term stopgap measure to fund the government through December 20, 2024, averting a federal government shutdown.\n\n\u201cDespite House Republicans\u2019 previous attempts to impose extremist policy riders that further their far-right ideological agenda through the appropriations process, I am glad that we were able to come together in a bipartisan manner to pass a clean short-term funding bill,\u201d said Congresswoman Valerie Foushee. \u201cThis bill is not perfect and far from a permanent solution but is necessary to avert a reckless government shutdown that would harm working families. In the coming weeks, Congress must enact full-year funding bills that includes emergency assistance, disaster relief, support for our veterans, and fully serves the needs of the American people.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "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://foushee.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-foushee-votes-to-keep-federal-government-open"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4768936671316624, "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"}
