The Senate passed the Stop Spending Act on Friday by 54-46, Senator Rand Paul, r-ky. He is the only Republican who opposes the measure. Almost all Democratic senators oppose this, but Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Maine’s independent Senator Angus King, who voted with Democrats to pass the bill.

If the spending bill is not passed on Friday’s deadline, the government will be trapped in partial downtime. President Donald Trump Support the bill and urge legislators to pass it.
DN.Y. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the bill was “an attack on veterans, families, seniors and daily Americans.”
“The ongoing Republican welfare for the economy, health care, social safety nets and veterans needs to work together in the coming weeks and months,” he said in a statement. “Donald Trump’s efforts to split our ill-advised and shallow will not succeed.”

Jeffries said House Democrats will hold “Action Day” across the United States on Tuesday to “actively oppose evil Republican programs to develop the largest Medicaid cuts in our nation’s history,” he added: “We will work with our colleagues at all levels of administration to protect the American people.”
Jeffries said Democrats in the House and Senate, as well as governors, local elected officials, trade unions, civil rights organizations, democratic reform groups and citizens of concern all play a major role.
“Our party is not a cult, we are a coalition,” he said. “Sometimes, we may strongly disagree with a specific course of action. Always, Democrats across the country remain determined to bring a better life for everyday Americans and to stop the damage caused by Donald Trump, Elon Musk and House Republicans.”
