Appropriations (funding) bills: A bill that gives or sets aside money to various departments for various programs and operations. This is what needs to pass to prevent a government shutdown in December.
Above needs 60 votes (it can be filibustered), so even if all 52 Republicans voted 'yes' in the Senate. It would not pass.
