House Republicans just released text for a stopgap bill that funds the government at current levels through November 21st and boosts security funding for public officials. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said the House plans to vote “by Friday” on the measure, saying it “will keep the government funded and operating at current levels while we continue all this work” on regular appropriations bills. In addition to extending funding, it meets the Trump administration’s request for an additional $58 million for security for public officials — $30 million for the executive branch, and $28 million for the Supreme Court — plus a $30 million boost in security funding for security for members of Congress. The bill also includes a funding fix for the District of Columbia for fiscal 2026, coming after Congress passed a funding bill earlier this year that left the district with a $1 billion shortfall. And, it includes several other budgetary anomalies that were requested by the White House, as well as an extension of authorizations pertaining to health care and veterans affairs.
For today, the Senate will take up a Motion to proceed to Cal. #142, S.J.Res.60, A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to “Emissions Budget and Allowance Allocations for Indiana Under the Revised Cross-State Air Pollution Rule Update” as well as a Motion to proceed to S.Con.Res.22, a Rand Paul concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.
The House is expected to take up the Rule for seven bills mostly related to crime in Washington DC, including H.R. 4922 – DC CRIMES Act of 2025 and then will consider three bills under suspension of the Rules.
