The legislation, which passed the House by a vote of 222\u2013209, funds essential government operations through January 30, 2026, and includes a \u201cminibus\u201d of three appropriations bills, extending key federal programs through next September.\n\nThe three-bill \u201cminibus\u201d includes the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies appropriations bill; the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies appropriations bill; and the Legislative Branch appropriations bill.\n\n\u201cAfter weeks of senseless disorder and delay, the House has finally taken action to reopen the government and deliver stability to families, small businesses, and our troops,\u201d said Congresswoman Claudia Tenney. \u201cThis shutdown was entirely avoidable. Democrats manufactured a crisis to damage President Trump\u2019s America First agenda while federal workers went without pay and essential services were disrupted. Their partisan games hurt the very people they claim to represent.\u201d\n\n\u201cHouse Republicans delivered a clean CR to fund the government and pay our servicemembers,\u201d Tenney continued. \u201cDemocrats blocked every effort and used hardworking Americans as political leverage. Only after weeks of using the American people as leverage did they finally accept nearly the same terms we offered from the start.\u201d\n\nIn addition to reopening the government, the three-bill \u201cminibus\u201d includes several key investments secured by Tenney for Upstate New York communities through the FY26 Community Project Funding and general appropriations process:\n\nCity of Oswego Police Department \u2014 $1,000,000 towards a new police station, to enhance public safety operations.\n\nOrleans County Public Safety Building \u2014 $1,750,000 for critical safety and security improvements.\n\nTown of Torrey Water District #2 \u2014 $2,050,000 for resource and infrastructure upgrades, expanding clean water access for residents.\n\nNiagara Falls Air Reserve Station \u2014 $16,110,000 for the new Combined Operations Airfield Facility.\n\nFort Drum \u2014 $9,500,000 for the design of the Aircraft Maintenance Hangar Addition and $8,300,000 for the design of the ORTC Transient Training Barracks.\n\n\u201cThese projects will strengthen public safety, expand access to clean water, bolster our national security, improve troop readiness, and deliver meaningful results for our region,\u201d Tenney said. \u201cWhile Democrats wasted weeks playing politics, House Republicans remained focused on getting things done for the American people and for Upstate New York.\u201d\n\n###", 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://tenney.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-tenney-votes-reopen-government-delivering-critical-funding"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3133869506418705, "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"}
