The Republican-controlled House overwhelmingly passed annual funding measures Thursday reversing some of Donald Trump’s most controversial federal spending cuts, including restoring money for medical research, refugee assistance and even the Department of Education.

The Senate is expected to approve the House’s four-part package, along with two other bills already approved in the House, before a Jan. 30 shutdown deadline. The White House said Trump intends to sign the spending measures, putting Washington on track to avoid a disruption to government services.
