Temporarily reopened the government after a 6-week shutdown in late 2025. Passed 217-212 in the House.
Cut $9.4 billion in already-approved spending — $8.3B from foreign aid and $1.1B from public broadcasting. Codified DOGE's proposed cuts into law. Passed 214-212.
Massive reconciliation bill making Trump-era tax cuts permanent, raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and cutting Medicaid. Passed by 1 vote in both chambers (215-214 House, 51-50 Senate with VP tiebreaker).

Kept the government funded temporarily after Congress couldn't agree on a full budget. Passed 217-213 in the House.
The Senate version of the House resolution, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D) with Sen. Rand Paul (R) as an original co-sponsor. It was blocked on March 4, 2026, largely along party lines — with Rand Paul voting for it and Sen. John Fetterman voting against it. Because the resolution was stuck in committee, Kaine had to use a procedural "motion to discharge" to force it to the floor — and that motion itself failed, meaning the full Senate never even got a direct vote on the substance.
The full federal budget for 2026. Passed by razor-thin margins after months of shutdowns and stopgap bills. The full federal budget for 2026. Passed by razor-thin margins after months of shutdowns and stopgap bills.
