October 7, 2025
The Shutdown that began on October 1 continues. With the House in recess until at least next week, the Senate keeps trying to end the shutdown with votes that fail. This is because most Democrats are putting their foot down on requiring an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies to ensure people can continue to have and afford health insurance (which polling shows 70% of Americans support).
September 11, 2025
Congress continues to advance FY2026 appropriations bills as we creep closer to the October 1 deadline when the new fiscal year starts. The White House has proposed a Continuing Resolution (CR) funding plan through January 31, however, top congressional appropriators would like the stopgap measure to expire in November or December.
July 4th, 2025
On July 3, after a record-breaking almost 9-hour speech by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the US House of Representatives passed the Senate version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (H.R. 1) by a vote of 218 to 214 that included all Republicans voting for it except Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) due to the high cost of the bill and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) due to the severe Medicaid cuts.
