Passed the Senate.
Eight divisions under one short title. A single yes carried a stopgap continuing resolution that reopened the government, three full-year appropriations bills (Agriculture-FDA, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction-VA), agricultural and health and veterans extenders, and a PAYGO exemption. The reduction-in-force reversal in Section 120 and the full-year Agriculture, Legislative Branch, and MilCon-VA budgets all ride on the same vote as the short-term funding patch.

What it does

Division A funds most of the federal government at fiscal year 2025 rates and conditions through January 30, 2026, treats that coverage as beginning October 1, 2025, and provides that employees be paid, including back pay, ending a lapse in appropriations. Section 120 bars any federally funded reduction in force through January 30, 2026, and voids any reduction in force an executive agency took between October 1, 2025, and enactment, reinstating affected employees as of September 30, 2025, with back pay. Divisions B, C, and D provide full-year fiscal 2026 appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, the FDA, and related agencies; the Legislative Branch; and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and related agencies. Divisions E and G extend agricultural programs and Department of Veterans Affairs authorities. Division F extends funding for community health centers, the National Health Service Corps, and teaching health centers that run graduate medical education programs through January 30, 2026, and carries Medicare, Medicaid, human-services, FDA over-the-counter drug user fee, and No Surprises Act provisions. Division H keeps the budgetary effects of the extender divisions off the statutory PAYGO scorecards.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 460 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 1,151 quarterly reports filed by 88 lobbying firms and by 208 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Leidos; American Medical Association; Sierra Club; Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association; International Association of Sheet Metal Air Rail & Transportation Workers. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 455 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
