House passes funding bill to reopen government after partial gov’t shutdown
On Tuesday, the U.S. House passed a $1.2 trillion spending package by a 217–214 vote, ending a four-day partial government shutdown and sending the bill to President Donald Trump for immediate signature. The measure reflects a rare bipartisan compromise, backed largely by Republicans with 21 Democrats voting in favor, while most Democrats opposed. It funds 11 of the 12 annual appropriations through September 30, 2026, including Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, while the Department of Homeland Security would be funded only through February 13, 2026, creating a 10-day stopgap to give both parties room to negotiate immigration enforcement policies and potential ICE guardrails.

The House of Representatives voted 217–214 on Tuesday to pass a $1.2 trillion spending package, effectively ending a four-day partial government shutdown and sending the legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk for an immediate signature.
The deal reflects a rare bipartisan compromise. While the majority of House Democrats and 21 Republicans opposed the measure, it was carried by a unified GOP conference and 21 crossover Democrats.
This comprehensive package secures long-term funding through September 30, 2026, for 11 of the 12 annual appropriations bills, covering vital departments such as Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Education.
To break the stalemate over the final remaining bill, lawmakers agreed to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) only through February 13th.
This 10-day stopgap provides a narrow window for both parties to negotiate the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies and potential new “guardrails” for ICE operations. President Trump, who urged Republicans to stay united during the standoff, confirmed he will sign the bill without delay to restore full federal operations.
