H.R. 1968 funds every federal agency through September 2025 at roughly last year's levels, extends expiring health-care and Medicare programs, adds billions for disaster relief and defense, and pre-funds veterans' care into 2026 — all in one massive package instead of the usual 12 separate spending bills.

Who this affects: Because this is a government-wide funding bill, it touches nearly every American in some way — from the food you eat (FDA inspections) to the air you breathe (EPA) to the roads you drive on (DOT). But certain groups feel the effects more directly than others.
Why this matters: Without this law, the federal government would have shut down, disrupting services that millions of people depend on daily. Beyond just keeping the lights on, the specific choices about what gets more or less money shape real-world outcomes for health care, safety, housing, and national defense.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
