Government shutdown updates: Trump signs government funding bill

Some Republican House members are expressing opposition to a provision that was inserted into the Senate version of the government funding bill at the 11th hour.

The provision creates a legal pathway for senators to sue if their phone records are investigated without their notification and seek up to $500,000 in taxpayer dollars for damages.

Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., told ABC News the provision was "poorly worded legislation that needs to be addressed and addressed very quickly."

Senate Majority Leader John Thune was personally responsible for adding the text to the bill, sources told ABC News.

Johnson said on X on Wednesday that the House will hold a vote next week on stripping the provision.

The House began debate for the funding bill that would reopen the federal government. It is expected to be voted on later Wednesday night.

In an effort to shore up GOP support for the funding package, Johnson announced on X Wednesday that the House will hold a standalone vote next week on stripping out the Senate phone record provision.

The provision would allow for Senators to sue if their phone records are investigated without their notice.

Many House Republicans are angered over this provision that Senate Majority Leader John Thune added in the funding package at the 11th hour.

Johnson said the measure to strip the provision will be brought up under suspension, requiring a two-thirds majority for passage.

Just hours before the House is set to vote on the final passage of the government funding package, House Democrats said they wouldn't support Republican efforts to "gut" health care for the American people.

The vote, expected to happen later Wednesday, may see some Democratic support, however. On Monday, eight Senate Democrats voted to advance the government funding package.

"No matter what happens on the floor later on today … our promise to you remains the same. House Democrats will continue to fight to make your life more affordable. House Democrats will continue the fight to address the Republican health care crisis, and House Democrats will fight to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. This fight is not over. We're just getting started," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.

A number of first-term Congress members took the podium after Jeffries, trumpeting their opposition to the government funding package.

Rep. Sarah McBride, a Delaware Democrat, rebranded the rollbacks on Affordable Care Act subsidies "Trumpcare" -- a play on the ACA's nickname "Obamacare."

Rep. Shomari Figures, an Alabama Democrat, said the over 43-day shutdown was "worth it" in order to fight for healthcare.

"And if you ask us if the shutdown was worth it, I say, hell yes, it was worth it, because fighting to maintain health care for American people," Figures said.
