House passes stopgap funding bill, months before shutdown deadline
The House passed a stopgap funding bill extending federal operations through December 4, avoiding a shutdown months ahead of the September 30 deadline. The 220-205 vote was largely along party lines, with Republicans aiming to pressure Democrats in the upcoming spending debate, while Democrats criticized the bill for lacking reforms to Border Patrol and ICE funding.
