Good news; the government won't be shutting down, at least not this particular month. By a 309-118 margin, the House just voted to pass the short-term $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill to fund federal operations through the summer.
Though the House is in Republican hands, more Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans. Democrats approved the bill 178 to 15; Republicans were divided, with 131 voting for and 103 against.
The bill had been seen by Democrats as a massive victory, protecting Planned Parenthood funds while nixing support for Trump's demanded "border wall."
We'll be back here in September, but for now? Presuming the Senate approves the bill as expected, the government stays open.
