The bill now goes to the Senate, where many Democrats oppose it but are not ready to vote against it yet

Only one House Democrat voted in the US House of Representatives voted for a spending bill that Republicans passed to keep the US government open.

The House passed a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” to keep the government open until September on Tuesday. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the legislation.

Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to join Republicans in the legislation.

    It would suck to watch Coast Guard service members, TSA agents, National Parks rangers, Air Traffic Controllers, and others go without paychecks again like they did in 2018-19. I recognize back-pay was distributed after the shutdown ended, but it really sucked to watch members of the US military wonder when they’d see their paychecks again while resorting to on-base community food banks in the interim.
