The house approved on Tuesday a stop invoice aimed at funding the federal government until September 30 and preventing a closure after the Friday deadline.
The legislation now moves to the Senate, where it largely depends on the Democrats to decide to support the measure or to risk a closure.
The leaders of the GOP of the Chamber rush to lock the support of their members for the package so that they can send it this week to the Senate, where it faces obstacles to support enough democrats to reach the 60 votes necessary to pass.
Overall, the measure would increase the defense expenses by $ 6 billion compared to the year 2024 and reduced the non -defense expenses of $ 13 billion.
While the Republicans have described legislation as a so-called “clean” continuous resolution without partisan measures, certain details remain vague.
Meanwhile, Democrats in the House and Senate criticized the legislation, saying that this would give more latitude to President Donald Trump And Elon Musk to redirect funding as they wish – a charge that the GOP denies.
If the congress does not extend the federal funding of agencies, non -essential government operations will cease after Friday until the law on legislators.
According to Rachel Snyderman, director general of the economic policy of the economic policy of the Bipartisan Policy Policy, according to Rachel Snyderman, Director General of the economic policy of the Bipartisan Policy Policy Policy Policy Center.
(She noted that these estimates do not include layoffs and departures that occurred in the first weeks of the Trump administration.)
The bill would fully finance the basic federal services and maintain operations without increasing expenditure, according to the GOP led by the GOP Credit committee of the Chamber.
“Without poisoned pills or not related riders – the bill is simple: extending funding and certainty for the nation,” said the chairman of the committee, Tom Cole de l’Oklahoma, in a press release.
However, the measure contains certain Trump administration requests, including additional $ 485 million for immigration and customs application to help stimulate deportations.
The decrease of $ 13 billion in non -defending spending – which the Republicans boast $ 13 billion in savings – would result from the abolition of unique projects or initiatives funded by legislators, called AFARANTES routes, during the year 2024, according to a spokesperson for the Chamber’s Creative Committee. The measure would not affect the money led to these projects during the last financial year, but it would not repeat the financing of the same projects. No brand is included in continuous resolution, said the spokesperson.
The legislation would also fully finance the services and the benefits of veterans, while improving investments in the defense, the committee praised a press release. He noted that the bill includes the highest increase in salary for junior troops enrolled in more than 40 years – the National Defense Authorization Act, former president Joe Biden Signed in December, authorized a 14.5% increase in remuneration in 2025.
The measurement of judgments would also support the federal forest firefighters, including the increase in their salary and the remuneration of bonuses for those who respond to fires, according to a summary of the GOP of the invoice. And this would increase the financing of air traffic control systems by $ 753 million above the level of the previous year.
The financing of nutritional aid to mothers, infants and children in the WIC program would jump more than $ 500 million to a total of $ 7.6 billion, a request made by the Trump administration, the Committee said. The bill would also increase the financing of the additional food program for goods, which supports the elderly at low income and for the food and food inspection service to examine the process of processing meat and poultry.
The bill also includes a provision that effectively dries the powers of the legislators to force to vote on the advisability of ending the capacity of a president to impose prices. This would help Republican members to avoid a politically painful vote at the end or at the end of Trump’s prices on Canada and Mexico.
Democrats contribute to the GOP’s decision to finance the government until the end of the fiscal year with a continuous resolution, Distant that the package does not provide specific financing guidelines for many programs and priorities that would be set up in a bill negotiated year spending.
“This creates melting snow funds for the Trump administration to reshape the priorities of expenditure, eliminates longtime programs, winners and losers, etc.
The absence of these directives would make the fact of contesting the actions of the Trump administration before the courts, Murray and the representative Rosa Delauro, classification member of the Chamber’s credit committee, in separate information sheets.
Legislators have highlighted a variety of spending discounts in continuous resolution, in particular by cutting $ 185 million for non-defense non-programs of defense and reducing $ 1.4 billion in the financing of the body of army engineers used for projects to mitigate the impacts of hurricanes and floods.
In addition, the legislation would reduce the support of the rural program of the wide -band community of $ 30 million, would reduce nearly $ 800 million from the construction of veterans ‘facilities, eliminate up to 40 million dollars in funding from electoral security subsidies and reduce farmers’ assistance to improve their land and participate in conservation activities of $ 30 million, according to Democrats with relevance.
In addition, the package would not provide additional funds for the rescue fund in the event of emergency emergency management, which will need more money before the financial year, said Murray and Delauro.
The bill would also limit the expenses of the Columbia district to its level of exercise 2024 for the rest of the year, according to representative Eleanor Holmes Norton, which represents Washington DC.
The mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, and other district officials warned a press conference on Monday that the district should reduce $ 1.1 billion in its approved budget if the bill adopts. These cuts would remove the financing of public security, education and economic growth priorities, said Bowser.
In addition, the package extend the financing of community health centers and the authorization of the pandemic era expanding the use of tele -residents in Medicare until September 30.
The legislation would also reduce certain funding for the divisions of the Ministry of Health and Social Services which run community health centers and other programs and which help people with mental health and drug addict problems, said Bobby Kogan, principal director of federal budget policy at the center of the left for American Progress. In addition, money could be reduced for children’s and family services programs, as well as for aging and disability programs.
