Trump signs bill funding government until September 2025

latimes.com

President Trump has signed a bill that funds the government until the end of September, preventing a partial shutdown. The legislation passed the Senate with a 54-46 vote, with some Democratic support despite internal party opposition. The new funding maintains overall spending levels from the Biden administration but reduces non-defense spending by $13 billion and increases defense spending by $6 billion. This marks a shift in budget priorities amid ongoing tensions in Congress. Democrats expressed concerns that the bill undermines key services like healthcare and housing. However, many chose to support it to avoid a government shutdown, which could have led to significant disruptions in federal operations.
