    How Every House Member Voted on the $1.2 Trillion Government Funding Package

    Updated: Politics No Comments

    The count was 286- 134 with 112 Democrats and 23 Liberals voting against the costs.

    The House passed a$ 1.2 trillion act on March 22, averting a deadline to completely fund 70 percent of the state.

    The count was 286- 134 with 112 Republicans and 23 Democrats voting against the act, which comes ahead of the March 23 evening date to avoid a limited government shutdown.
    The bill, unveiled yesterday, was approved under an accelerated process that requires a two- quarters majority for passage—in contrast to Speaker Mike Johnson ( R- La. ) waiving the House rule that requires people to include 72 hours to examine policy before it is voted on.

    The costs would fund the ministries of State, Defense, Treasury, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.

    No funding was allocated through March 2025 for the U. N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East ( UNRWA ). UNRWA has come under fire for what critics call propagating contempt for the Jewish position in schools.

    The bill also includes$ 200 million for the new FBI headquarters, which will be built just outside Washington in Greenbelt, Maryland—a contentious issue for Republicans.
