Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) touted Republicans’ new stopgap funding bill on Thursday evening after President-elect Trump and Elon Musk torpedoed the original bill he negotiated with Democrats. “This is Washington. This is how lawmaking is done,” he told reporters as the House was on the verge of voting the new measure down. The slimmer bill, now down from 1,547 pages to 116 pages, still extends government funding through March 14 but strips out some of the provisions that were previously agreed to by bipartisan, bicameral negotiators. Notably, it includes a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, something the president-elect pushed for that goes against traditional Republican orthodoxy. “That will allow us to do the important work of governing in the new Congress,” the speaker told reporters. It also includes $100 billion in disaster relief, $10 billion in economic assistance for farmers, a one-year extension of the farm bill, federal funding to rebuild Baltimore’s Key Bridge, and an extension of several expiring health care policies. It does not include a pay raise for members of Congress, language to allow lawmakers to opt out of Obamacare, nor a requirement for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to pass along 100% of drug rebate savings to consumers. It also removed a provision that would have transferred control of the RFK Stadium site from the federal government to the District of Columbia, which would have paved the way for the NFL’s Washington Commanders to return to the nation’s capital. #speakerofthehouse #mikejohnson #houseofrepresentatives #governmentshutdown #cspan

House conservatives on Tuesday expressed their frustration with the short-term government funding bill that’s being put together to avert a shutdown that would be triggered a midnight on Friday. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) called it a “total dumpster fire” and “garbage.” “It’s shameful that people that celebrate DOGE coming in and yet we’re going to vote for another billion dollars to be added to the deficit, and so it’s ironic,” he told reporters, referring to the initiative led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to cut federal spending. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said Congress was “just fundamentally unserious about spending.” “As long as you got a blank check, you can’t shrink government. If you can’t shrink government, you can’t live free,” he said. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) said he was voting against the bill and bemoaned that Republican leaders had to “capitulate” to the demands of Democrats, whose votes will be needed to pass the legislation. “It’s the opposite of what the DOGE commission is trying to do,” he told reporters. #governmentshutdown #houseofrepresentatives #cspan

Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) delivered her farewell address from the House floor on Tuesday, using a text-to-voice program as her speech has been impacted by progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s disease. “Our disabilities and our health struggles do not define who we are,” Rep. Wexton said. “I hope that the most impactful legacy I can leave is in the power of perseverance and persistence and in the belief that change is possible through public service and that change is coming if we are willing to work for it.” She was first elected to Congress in 2018 and decided not to seek reelection following her PSP diagnosis in September 2023. #congress #houseofrepresentatives #cspan

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) excoriated his Republican colleagues on Thursday evening as he railed against Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) revised stopgap funding bill backed by President-elect Trump, which included a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling. “You never have any ounce of self-respect to go out and campaign, saying you’re going to balance the budget, and then you come in here and pass $110 billion unpaid for,” he said, calling it “embarrassing” and “shameful.” “To take this bill yesterday and congratulate yourself because it’s shorter in pages but increases the debt by $5 trillion is asinine,” he added. “I am absolutely sickened by a party that campaigns on ‘fiscal responsibility’ and has the temerity to go forward to the American people and say you think this is fiscally responsible.” The bill failed 174–235, well short of the two-thirds majority that was required for passage since it was brought to the floor under suspension of the rules. Thirty-eight Republicans and all but two Democrats — Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) and Kathy Castor (FL) — voted against the measure. One Democrat, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH), voted “present.” #chiproy #houseofrepresentatives #congress #governmentfunding #cspan

As a government shutdown looms, Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy is “sickened” by his own party for introducing an 11th-hour spending bill that would “increase the debt by $5 trillion.” “Congratulations, you've added [$330 billion] to the debt since you were given the majority again on November 5. It's embarrassing. It's shameful,” Roy chided Republicans as he spoke from the Democrats' side of the aisle. Earlier on Thursday, Donald Trump blasted Roy for “getting in the way” of the Republicans’ new, slimmed-down bill, and called for a primary challenger against Roy. The Trump-backed continuing resolution and debt ceiling package failed to pass the House on Thursday night after opposition from 38 Republicans and nearly all Democrats. The federal government would shut down at 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday if a spending bill is not passed by Congress and signed by President Biden before then. #chiproy #donaldtrump #governmentshutdown #government #shutdown #republican #congress #smackdown #fyp #news #politics #political #politicalnews #politicaltiktok #debt #nationaldebt #economy #debtceiling #houseofrepresentatives

The House rejected Republicans’ new stopgap bill on Thursday evening with just over 24 hours until the government was set to shut down at midnight on Friday. The 174–235 vote fell well short of the two-thirds needed for passage since it was brought to the floor under suspension of the rules. Thirty-eight Republicans and all but two Democrats — Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) and Kathy Castor (FL) — voted against the measure. The bill, which included a two-year suspension of the debt limit, was destined to fail after House Democrats, whose votes will be critical to getting any government funding bill through the chamber, said they would oppose it. “The Musk–Johnson proposal is not serious. It’s laughable,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told reporters ahead of the vote. “Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown.” The new bill, now down from 1,547 pages to 116 pages, still extends government funding through March 14 but strips out some of the provisions that were previously agreed to by bipartisan, bicameral negotiators. It includes $100 billion in disaster relief, $10 billion in economic assistance for farmers, a one-year extension of the farm bill, federal funding to rebuild Baltimore’s Key Bridge, and an extension of several expiring health care policies. It does not include a pay raise for members of Congress, language to allow lawmakers to opt out of Obamacare, a provision to transfer federal control of the RFK Stadium sit to Washington, DC, nor a requirement for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to pass along 100% of drug rebate savings to consumers. President-elect Trump, who, along with close ally Elon Musk, derailed the original stopgap on Wednesday evening, called the new bill “very good” and urged all Republicans to vote for it. He also praised the new provision that suspends the debt ceiling until two years into his term, something he pushed for at the last minute and runs afoul of Republican orthodoxy. It’s unclear what Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will do next as a government shutdown looms. #houseofrepresentatives #congress #cspan

That’s a wrap on the 118th Congress!

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) touted the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual defense policy and programs bill that’s passed every year since 1961. “It includes critical wins for our troops and for our country at a very important time,” the speaker said in a press conference Tuesday. House and Senate negotiators over the weekend released the text of the compromise version, which authorizes $895 billion in national defense spending. It includes a 14.5% pay raise for junior service members and a 4.5% hike for all other troops as well as other quality-of-life improvements for military families covering housing, health care, child care and spousal support. The NDAA also supports the deployment of the National Guard to the southern border, joint exercises with Israel, and increased funding for U.S. defense initiatives in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan. “The safety and security of the American people is our top priority and this year’s NDAA ensures our military has the resources and the capabilities needed to remain the most powerful fighting force on the planet,” Speaker Johnson said. Many of House Republicans’ divisive culture war issues were stripped from the final version, however, a few watered-down provisions made it in. The bill maintains a hiring freeze for diversity-related positions and includes a provision that prohibits Tricare, a military health care program, from providing gender dysphoria treatments for dependents under the age of 18 that could result in sterilization. The rule that governs consideration of the bill was set to be voted on Tuesday, while the actual bill is expected to receive a vote Wednesday. The Senate will then follow suit, sending it to the White House for President Biden’s signature. #speakerofthehouse #mikejohnson #ndaa #defense #pentagon #houseofrepresentatives #cspan

The House on Tuesday approved its first bill of the 119th Congress — a migrant crime measure named after the 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student who was murdered last year by an undocumented immigrant. The Laken Riley Act was approved in a 264–159 vote, with 48 Democrats joining all voting Republicans in favor of the measure. The lower chamber previously passed the bill last March in a 251–170 vote, but the Democratic-controlled Senate never took it up. The bill would give law enforcement more power to detain undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes like shoplifting. It now heads to the Senate, where new Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is expected to call a procedural vote Friday. Eight Democratic votes will be required to get the bill past the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster since Republicans currently have 52 seats while awaiting the arrival of outgoing Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV). Watch the House debate and vote at c-span.org #houseofrepresentatives #congress #lakenriley #cspan

The House approved a stopgap funding bill on Friday, sending the measure to the Senate hours before the midnight deadline to avert a government shutdown. The vote was 366–34, easily surpassing the two-thirds majority required for passage since it was considered under suspension of the rules. All votes against came from Republicans, while all but one Democrat — Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX), who voted “present” — voted in favor. It was Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) third attempt to get a funding bill through the chamber. President-elect Trump and his close ally Elon Musk on Wednesday torpedoed a 1,547-page painstakingly negotiated bipartisan agreement, stopping it before it could even receive a debate on the House floor. A revised, 116-page stopgap that included a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling at the instance of Mr. Trump, was soundly defeated on the House floor Thursday evening after 38 Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in opposition. This third version, at 118 pages, is essentially the same bill as the second version except it doesn’t include any language pertaining to the debt ceiling. It extends government through March 14 and includes $100 billion in disaster relief, $30 billion in aid for farmers and a one-year extension of the farm bill. The removal of the debt ceiling language is a loss for the president-elect, who made clear he wanted it to be dealt with “on Biden’s watch.” Republicans now hope to lift the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion next Congress as part of a budget reconciliation package that would also cut mandatory spending by $2.5 trillion, a tall order if they intend to leave Social Security untouched. The House-passed bill now heads to the Senate, which is expected to take it up either late Friday or early Saturday. After the Senate acts, the bill will head to the White House, which signaled its support for the measure just ahead of the House vote. #houseofrepresentatives #congress #governmentfunding #cspan

The House on Wednesday passed an $895 billion defense programs and policy bill despite most Democrats voting against the typically bipartisan measure over its inclusion of a controversial provision on treatments for transgender children. The 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was approved in a 281–140 vote, with all but 16 Republicans voting in favor and 124 Democrats voting against. The bill authorizes $884 billion for the Pentagon, representing a 1% increase above last year, as well as an additional $11 billion for other defense programs. It includes a 14.5% pay raise for junior service members and a 4.5% hike for all other troops as well as other quality-of-life improvements for military families. The NDAA, which has passed every year since 1961, replenishes U.S. weapons stockpiles, boosts investments in new military technology and strengthens defenses against China. It also establishes a Taiwan fund similar to that of a Ukraine initiative that allows the U.S. to send arms to the country by purchasing directly from the private sector. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) hailed the bill at a press conference Tuesday, saying it “includes critical wins for our troops and for our country at a very important time.” While most of Republicans’ culture war issues were removed from the final version unveiled by bicameral negotiators over the weekend, one provision on transgender youth was left in at the urging of the speaker. It prohibits Tricare, a health care program for service members, from covering gender dysphoria treatments for children under 18 “that could result in sterilization.” That provision lost the support of many Democrats, including Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, who called it “bigoted against the trans community.” Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) noted there were “a lot of positive things” in the bill as well as “some troubling provisions,” and decided against whipping his members on the vote. The NDAA now heads to the Senate, where it is expected to receive a vote next week. #ndaa #houseofrepresentatives #cspan
