On January 14th local time, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a spending bill containing two bills with a vote of 341 in favor and 79 against, providing funding for most federal government agencies. This is the latest effort by both parties to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month. The bill combines funding for the State Department and certain national security projects with funding for the Treasury Department, the IRS, and other financial services projects, and has been submitted to the Senate. It is expected that the Senate will debate the bill next week. On November 12, 2025, President Trump signed a temporary funding bill for the federal government, ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, lasting 43 days. The bill provides funding for most federal agencies at previous levels until January 30, 2026.
