Just seven hours before federal agencies ran out of money, the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill funding the federal government through Dec. 11.
The measure, which comes hours after the Senate passed a spending bill of its own, will now go to President Barack Obama's desk and averts a government shutdown.
The bill was approved 277 to 151, with House Democrats providing most of the votes in favor. Many conservatives wanted to use the bill to defund Planned Parenthood after edited videos released by an anti-abortion group purportedly showed officials talking about the sale of fetal tissue. The group denied any illegal activity, and the bill approved on Wednesday will continue federal money for Planned Parenthood....

Politicians are ignorant, corrupt and incompetent. And the nation slides deeper into the cesspool of disaster.

Yep. The entire house votes for speaker. McCarthy will be elected by democrats. The conservatives should pull the rug out from under the rinos by announcing they’re going to vote for Pelosi. Then the rinos will see how quickly the democrats drop them and run to Nancy.

Whew! Thank goodness we avoided another government shutdown!! How would we have survived it?
Of course the treacherous Congress had to fund Planned Butcherhood fully with out tax dollars to do it but,... hey,... you have to break a few eggs to make a good omelet, right?

He is gone in 31 days.
McArthy voted yes as well. We will be stuck with him for many years.

Boehner was sooo close to getting planned parenthood this time.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
It wasn't just the speaker it was the dim’s and pubbies that passed funding for baby butchering. I heard some Midwestern Congress critter saying essentially they avoided a government shutdown and that the people want the government working, not shutdown and that is what they delivered. I wonder what goes through their mindless heads.
