House GOP unites to pass government funding bill

sun-sentinel.com

House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have successfully passed a government funding bill, uniting their party for the first time in years. This marks a shift from previous struggles to secure funding without Democratic support. The bill aims to keep the government running through September, reflecting a new GOP strategy influenced by former President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's push to reduce federal size and spending. The Department of Education has already cut about half its staff. Senate Democrats now face a tough choice: support the bill or risk a government shutdown. Trump is advocating for significant tax cuts and spending reductions, which could impact programs like Medicaid and food assistance.
