The U.S. Congress has successfully passed a short-term spending bill to avert a government shutdown just before the Friday midnight deadline, with the Senate and House of Representatives both approving the measure. The bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), will fund the government into early March, with some agencies funded until March 1 and others until March 8. The Senate passed the legislation with a vote of 77-18, and the House followed suit with a vote of 314-108. The bipartisan effort saw 107 Republicans joining 207 Democrats in the House to pass the bill, despite a significant split within the Republican party. The bill now heads to President Biden's desk for his signature, just ahead of the deadline. This marks the third CR passed this fiscal year, as Congress continues to work on a full-year funding package. The votes in both chambers were cast amid concerns of an impending winter storm and internal GOP disagreements.
More than 100 Republicans voted to shut down the government. Once again House Democrats were there to save the day. People Over Politics.

Once again, Congress narrowly avoided an unnecessary government shutdown. We canβt keep cutting it this close. Our federal workers, troops, and Alaskan families deserve better. We need more bipartisan cooperation to pass a full budget, and thatβs what Iβll keep working on.
Today the Senate did our part (again) to prevent a government shutdown, and Iβm glad the House did the same. But look β this has to STOP. It's past time we pass a budget for the FULL fiscal year that actually addresses our country's needs. ENOUGH with the MAGA brinksmanship!
Thank goodness ... Congress just averted another damaging government shutdown by passing a bipartisan short-term spending bill that allows us to limp along for an additional 40 days. This stopgap approach does not achieve any of the urgent work Congress needs to get done.

I just voted on a temporary extension to avoid a government shutdown β again. Americans are tired of the cycle of bracing for funding disruptions. I urge Speaker Johnson to bring a full-year appropriations package to the floor that adheres to the bipartisan budget agreement.
