US EditionTrump Signs Funding Package to End Government Shutdown
House Republicans push bills funding most federal agencies through Sept. 30 and extend Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks amid immigration enforcement negotiations.
- On Feb. 3, 2026, House Republicans move five fiscal 2026 spending bills and a two‑week DHS CR to the House floor to end the partial shutdown.

- The Senate approved the package 71-29, affecting agencies including DHS, HHS, Education, Transportation, and furloughed federal workers, with votes requiring near-unanimous GOP support.

- Facing a 218-214 House GOP majority, the agenda includes a D.C. Act 26-217, which watchdogs warn could risk credit downgrades for the District.
