I didn\u2019t come up here to be liked,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passage of the two-year deal represents an 18-month respite from Washington\u2019s budget dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/congress\/2018\/02\/08\/senate-poised-to-pass-deal-with-14t-for-pentagon-shifting-to-house-fight\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/F-35-Hill-small.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Senate poised to pass budget deal with $1.4T for Pentagon; fight shifts to House<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The U.S. Senate is expected to take up a bipartisan two-year spending legislation that hands a massive boost to the Pentagon, but its path through the House was cloudy Thursday.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal, which was unveiled Wednesday by Senate leaders after months of partisan wrangling, includes a $148 billion boost for the Pentagon over two years, as well as funds for the rest of government and disaster aid. The deal lifts the debt ceiling and extends some tax breaks and health care provisions \u2014 and the six-week continuing resolution.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What happened at midnight?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the clock hit midnight, the Office of Management and Budget issued an order to close nonessential government operations. Federal agencies were ordered to execute their contingency plans and instructed federal employees to report to work Friday to \u201cundertake orderly shutdown activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once Senate rules allowed Senate leaders to bypass Paul, during the wee hours of the morning, the measure easily passed 71-28. In the House, the bill faced opposition from fiscal conservatives as well as Democrats who sought its linkage to protections for young immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House passed the bill 240-186, splitting both Democrats and Republicans, who did not have the votes on their own. Democrats amped the drama by waiting until late in the voting period before 73 voted \u201cyes\u201d; 67 Republicans voted \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lower chamber hosted a raucous 5 a.m. exchange between Democrats, who made another pitch for Republicans to guarantee an immigration reform vote, and Republicans who argued the bill included many of Democrats\u2019 other priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is a basic constitutional responsibility of Congress to fund the federal government and Republican majorities in the House and the Senate are just turning the process into an embarrassing spectacle,\u201d said the House Appropriations Committee\u2019s top Democrat, Rep. Nita Lowey, of New York.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRunning from one crisis directly into the next: It has been clear for nine months that a bipartisan budget agreement would be needed to enact appropriations law. Yet it has taken five continuing resolutions, two lapses in funding, countless hours of effort to take even this first step toward full-year funding bills, more than four months into the fiscal year,\u201d Lowey said.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., made a plea for the bipartisanship he needed and ultimately won, to pass the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, I voted against the budget bill.
