- President Trump signed H.R. 6500, the FY2027 continuing resolution, into law on September 2, 2026, funding the government at current levels through December 11, 2026 and formally closing out the shutdown threat that would otherwise have hit Sept. 30. LatinTimes / SpacePolicyOnline
- The bill also freezes a disputed OMB rule giving political appointees control over federal grant reviews until mid-December — part of the deal that got it through on a 370-48 House vote and 90-6 in the Senate.
- Of the 12 full-year FY27 spending bills, only 3 have cleared the House (Military Construction-VA, Agriculture, State-Foreign Operations) and the Senate has passed none.
