The government funding deadline
AIAI-decoded
Money for most federal agencies runs out on September 30, 2026.
Data as of July 25, 2026
What Congress is deciding
Money for most federal agencies runs out on September 30, 2026. The House has passed a short-term funding bill — a continuing resolution — that would keep agencies running at this year's levels through December 4, 2026, while Congress keeps working on the full-year spending bills. The question now sits with the Senate: pass the short-term extension, or not? A yes keeps the government funded at current levels into December. A no leaves funding on track to lapse on October 1 unless Congress passes a different measure.

The vehicles
The bills this question actually runs through. Each opens the full plain-language decode and the call flow — support and oppose scripts are equally one tap away.
Stopgap bill would fund government at 2026 levels through December 4, 2026
A yes vote extends current funding through December 4, 2026, so federal agencies, benefit programs, and services keep operating while the full-year bills are negotiated. A no vote leaves funding set to run out on September 30, 2026, unless Congress passes a different measure.
No side is pre-selected. Every link above opens the same call flow, with support and oppose scripts equally available.
