The House passed Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) continuing resolution 217-213, getting one step closer to avoiding a shutdown just days before the government is set to run out of funding.
The vote was largely along party lines. One Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted against the bill, and one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), voted to support it.
The bill advances against the backdrop of the Trump administration and its billionaire advisor Elon Musk continuing to ignore congressional appropriations bills such as this one, lawlessly shutting down agencies and ending funding for federal programs.
The Senate will now take up the bill.
TPM will continue CR coverage from the Hill throughout today. Follow along here:

“I have so much stupid in this one little space.”
Toady Mike Johnson is dweeby, and a phony Christian!
I may have to invent a few new curse words to adequately encompass the full extent of the wrath this occasions.
Is this why 22 or so Dem senators don’t have a position on the CR? Are they hoping that MAGA Mike can’t pass it in the House?
