House passes $460 billion government funding deal, temporarily dodging shutdown
The House passed the first six spending bills needed to fund the government on a long-term basis, signaling the beginning of the end of constant government shutdown scares on Capitol Hill.
The legislation easily cleared the lower chamber by a bipartisan vote of 339-85. In what has become a familiar sight for the House, far more Democrats than Republicans supported the bill, despite the GOP's majority in the lower chamber.
A chunk of House Republicans voted against the spending bill because it didn’t have many of the conservative policy wins some members wanted, such as stricter border polices.

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary
TaxFunding PlanThis is a full funding plan, for the rest of the fiscal year, for six out of the twelve required funding bills.
And the fiscal year ends in about 6 months, so it's a bit disingenuous to call it a full plan.
Way to do just the bare minimum guys!
They didn't. They only did half lol
