Top appropriators released bill text Monday morning of a ⭐️three-bill funding package leaders in both chambers aim to pass ahead of the Jan. 30 government shutdown deadline.
The legislation would fund the departments of Energy, Commerce, Interior and Justice,
-- as well as water programs, the EPA and federal science initiatives through the Sept. 30 end of the current fiscal year.
The compromise is the product of negotiations between House and Senate appropriators following a deal last month on overall totals.
GOP leaders are making plans to shore up votes and put the package on the House floor #Thursday, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter.
⚠️Besides those bills, Congress still has six other funding measures to wrap up for fiscal 2026,
after enacting three within the stopgap that ended the government shutdown in November.
That trio slated funding through September for the departments of Veterans Affairs and Agriculture, -- along with military construction projects, the Food and Drug Administration and operations of Congress.
💥The remaining bills include the two largest funding measures,
which cover the departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor and Education.But barring another breakthrough in the next few weeks, those politically thorny measures are likely to be funded under another #stopgap for a few more weeks or months,
along with bills that cover funding for the IRS and the departments of Homeland Security, State, Transportation, Treasury and Housing and Urban Development

Lilbits: A new handheld Linux PC, Google opens up the Play Store (a little), Samsung’s web browser comes to PCs
In many ways, handheld gaming PCs are the modern descendants of the UMPCs (ultra mobile PCs) from twenty years ago. But with a few exceptions, most don’t have the keyboards or long battery life that you’d want for general purpose computing.
Fortunately for fans of handheld computing, we’ve also seen a number of DIY solutions in recent years, often built around Raspberry Pi hardware or similar […]

In an attempt to avoid a #GovernmentShutdown at the end of next week, #Trump & #House Speaker #MikeJohnson are pitching a #stopgap bill that would keep federal dollars flowing through Sept 30. Trump & Johnson are embracing it as a way to avoid a politically damaging shutdown fight among #Republicans while still giving Trump wide latitude to slash spending on his own in defiance of #Congress & the #law.

The House Ethics Committee plans to
✅ release an investigative report into the conduct of former Representative #Matt #Gaetz of Florida, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Mr. Gaetz had resigned from the House after Donald Trump named him as his pick for attorney general,
but Mr. Gaetz ended his candidacy after the weight of allegations of sex trafficking and drug use made it clear he would not be confirmed by the Senate.
He consistently denied the allegations.#Robert F. #Kennedy Jr., Mr. Trump’s selection for health secretary, is expected back on Capitol Hill on Wednesday for more meetings with Republican senators.
His audiences so far have been friendly lawmakers but he may find a more skeptical greeting soon:
➡️ He is expected to meet with Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska who has said she wants to question him on his anti-vaccine advocacy.Speaker Mike Johnson is defending the 1,500-page #stopgap #spending #bill unveiled on Tuesday.
It started as a simple measure to avert a government shutdown until mid-March
but became a magnet for more than $100 billion in emergency disaster and farm aid,
plus unrelated policy measures.
An array of House Republicans are unhappy with it.
Mr. Johnson went on “Fox and Friends” on Wednesday to defend the bill, saying his thin margin in the House and Democratic control of the Senate and White House meant
“any bill has to have Democrat votes.” -
#TSA screeners would remain on the job #withoutPay, many of whom called in sick as a #protest after a previous #shutdown dragged on for wks, sparking nationwide #travel delays.
It would also leave #Congress w/few alternate paths to fund the govt. A likely last resort would have been another #stopgap resolution to preserve existing #funding, potentially triggering #cuts to #defense spending.

On Friday, the federal government will formally initiate the process of preparing for a potential #shutdown, participating in the mandatory-but-standard process of releasing shutdown guidance to agencies ahead of the March 1 funding #deadline.
That means federal departments and agencies impacted by the first deadline will need to update and review their shutdown plans.
If this feels familiar, that’s because this is the #fourth time since September that lawmakers have run up against a funding deadline, passing #stopgap bills in the nick of time in September, November and once more in January to keep the government running.https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/23/politics/federal-government-prepares-shutdown/index.html

We're just waiting for Biden to announce he signed it, right? It's times like this I wish #cspan was free to everyone and always on. They could use @peertube.

Just hours before a potential #GovernmentShutdown, #Republicans & #Democrats in the #Senate passed a 45-day #ContinuingResolution w/ #DisasterRelief funds, an extension of a federal #FloodInsurance program & #FAA reauthorization — but no #Ukraine #aid. Saturday’s passage in the #Senate ended a weeks-long #House debate over govt #funding…. The #Senate eventually ditched its own #stopgap #bill to pass a #House version.
The Senate vote was 88-9.

#Senate approves the #stopgap spending bill a little more than three hours before the deadline. Vote was 88 to 9.
#GovernmentShutdown averted, till November anyway.

#Senate consideration of the #stopgap bill that was passed by the #House is being #delayed by Senator Michael #Bennet, #Democrat of Colorado, his colleagues say. Bennet reportedly wants a promise of quick consideration of #aid to #Ukraine.
The Senate version of the #CR included
> $6 billion in Ukraine aid.Senators say the leadership is working on a written commitment. But a long delay could trigger a #shutdown if the Senate doesn’t act by midnight.

#House passes short-term funding bill w/ hours until #GovernmentShutdown
Just hours before a potential govt #shutdown, #Republicans & #Democrats reached a deal in the House that includes a 45-day #ContinuingResolution w/ #DisasterRelief funds, an extension of a federal #FloodInsurance prgm & #FAA reauthorization — but no #Ukraine #aid.
Unclear where things stand in the #Senate, where a procedural vote on the chamber’s #stopgap measure had yet to be called.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/30/government-shutdown-updates/

#Senate #Republicans & #Democrats reached agreement on Tues on a #stopgap spending plan that to head off a #GovernmentShutdown on Sun…, but it faces resistance from #HouseRepublicans.
The #legislation cleared its 1st procedural obstacle Tues night on a #bipartisan vote of 77 to 19. It could keep govt funding flowing through Nov17 & allow more time for negotiations over spending bills & provide ~$6B for the #Ukraine #war & ~$6B for #DisasterRelief in the wake of a series of #wildfires & #floods.

By the end of the week, #McCarthy could have to make a defining decision: Either put an expected #bipartisan #Senate #stopgap bill on the #House floor & risk his speakership, or withhold scheduling a vote on the Senate proposal & side with #FarRight legislators in triggering a #GovernmentShutdown….
-
#HouseRepublicans’ inability to find agreement on even a #stopgap #funding bill that is destined to fail in the #Senate again puts into focus the challenge before #KevinMcCarthy as he tries to unite his party & avoid a #GovernmentShutdown. Though #Republicans largely agree on the need to significantly curb federal spending, divisions mostly over process have given any 5 lawmakers enormous #power in the razor-thin majority.

The #FarRight House Freedom Caucus announced Monday that its members will not support a #stopgap #funding bill to keep the government running past the end of next month unless several of its *conservative* policy priorities on #immigration & other issues are attached.
