The House passes a short-term spending measure Thursday that will keep the government funded through Nov. 21 and avoid a shutdown at the beginning of October.

Congressional appropriators aim to reach an agreement for a comprehensive spending package before that deadline that would provide increased funding levels for the rest of the 2020 fiscal year.

"Our continuing resolution will provide families, businesses, and communities with budget certainty while we negotiate long-term funding. After we pass this CR and the Senate moves forward with their process, I look forward negotiating responsible bills that uphold our values and give working families a better chance at a better life," House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said in a statement Wednesday.

The bill includes extensions of several health programs including Medicaid in Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories and for Community Health Centers, among others. It also extends the National Flood Insurance Program and the Export-Import Bank. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said that the Senate plans to take up the CR, but hasn’t yet announced timing for a vote. The vote will likely be held next week since Congress will go on recess the week after.

TheDemocrats still not doing their job because of their blind hatred. smh FakeNewsMedia

They shouldn't pass anything until trump hands over his finances.. how do we know how he's gonna spend the money? He could use it to revamp his properties since he now houses our military there.. ' at a discount ' of course. Which of course we are paying for and he's pocketing

The President is tired about being harassed. Trump said, “I’M BEING HARASSED EVERY DAY! NOW THEY’RE HARASSING ME ABOUT MY AFFLICTION, PEYRONIE’S DISEASE! DID THEY HARASS FDR FOR BEING A CRIPPLE! NO! TAFT FOR BEING A TRANSVESTITE! NO! THEY ONLY PICK ON TRUMP! I HATE THE MEDIA!”

Not this shit again. I would love to see the Gov actually have a real budget so we don't have to deal with this all the time.
