Fact Check
The assessment is based on strong, direct evidence from multiple high-authority sources. One press release from a Congressman's office explicitly states that the 'U.S. House passed a clean, bipartisan continuing resolution' to end the shutdown. This is a direct confirmation of the statement. This evidence is corroborated by the U.S. House Budget Committee, which confirms a vote occurred on a 'clean Continuing Resolution'. Several other sources, including press releases from the House Appropriations Committee and various representatives, provide strong contextual support by discussing the need for, and urging the passage of, such legislation. All sources are official U.S. House of Representatives websites (.gov), lending them high credibility. There is no conflicting evidence presented in the sources. The consistency across multiple primary sources provides high confidence in the truthfulness of the statement.
