The House of Representatives approved a “minibus” spending bill on Wednesday to avert a partial government shutdown this weekend — despite opposition from conservative Republicans.
The $467.5 billion package was supported by 207 Democrats and 132 Republicans and keeps funding levels roughly the same through Sept. 30 for the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Transportation, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development and Justice, as well as military construction.
Senate and House appropriators released the 1,050-page bill on Sunday afternoon, with Republicans celebrating the domestic spending levels as a budget cut for federal agencies like the FBI and Democrats touting the protection of food and housing programs.
Funding for the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services, among others, will run out on March 22 at midnight if another spending bill isn’t passed by then.

Exactly. I guess the leadership wants it open.
I heard Sen. Paul this morning say it was not “roughly the same,” but all have increased spending from the current one. He opposes it for that reason.
If we are going to MAGA there should be no more increases, only cuts.
How bout one year just give us vets a million dollar free gift?
Too much to ask, I say no
House of Representatives = Oxymoron
