The House failed to pass a stopgap government funding bill that would maintain current levels of funding through March 28.^Number2025.

The bill also includes a provision that would require proof of US citizenship in order to register to vote in the United States.

The spending bill failed by a vote of 220 to 202, with 206 Democrats and 14 Republicans voting against it and 199 Republicans and 3 Democrats voting in favor.

Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia voted present.

Tonight I voted for the CR+SAVE Act because I refuse to join Johnson's lies and false fight with the Senate.

I have never voted for CR and already voted to pass the SAVE Act back in July.

In particular, rumors are that Mike Johnson is already in negotiations…
