Government shutdown looms after Senate rejects House-passed stopgap funding bill by Alexander Bolton - 09/19/25 Senate Democrats on Friday blocked a House-passed bill to fund federal departments and agencies for seven weeks, putting Washington on the path to an Oct. 1 government shutdown. Democrats came together in near unison to defeat the measure on a 44-48 vote, with only Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) voting for the Republican-drafted proposal, which passed the House earlier Friday by a 217-212 vote. Two Republicans voted against the House-passed continuing resolution: Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), an outspoken fiscal hawk who argued it would prolong Biden-era spending levels, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), a centrist who has voiced grave concerns about the Medicaid cuts Trump signed into law earlier this year. Democrats blocked the resolution, which would fund government until Nov. 21, after Republicans defeated an alternative Democratic proposal to fund government until Oct. 31, extend health insurance subsidies and restore nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid funding cuts. The two failed votes leave Republican and Democratic leaders at loggerheads over how to avoid a government shutdown in only 11 days. thehill.com The Democrats wants cut spending restored to ACA health insurance subsidies and to Medicaid. Some nunbskulls are claiming the money goes to fund free health insurance for illegal immigrants. They're not eligible for either program.
