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.

    If voting yes helps one Democrat keep their seat? Sure, why not?

    This mentality from the DNC is precisely why Republicans currently control every branch of government. Nobody likes diet Republicanism and nobody will remember this specific vote in 2026.

      It’s up to the Congressman to remind everyone when his Republican opponent tries to lie about him.

        It’s up to us to get a primary challenge against him.

        democrats should fear being primaried by an angry electorate more than they fear republicans saying mean things about them.
