WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives passed a bill on March 11 to fund the government through Sept. 30.
The measure, known as a continuing resolution, passed in a near party-line vote of 217-213. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the sole Republican to vote against the bill, and Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) was the lone Democrat who voted for it.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) criticized Democrats for voting against the bill….
