  Congress has just 10 days until government funding is set to run out, and lawmakers don't have a deal to keep the lights on during the holidays. Members on both sides of the aisle expect the government will stay open past the Dec.

The article from MSN discusses the looming threat of a government shutdown as Congress faces a deadline to pass a funding bill by November 17, 2023. With only a few days left, there's significant discord among House Republicans, particularly from the conservative wing, who are pushing for deep spending cuts and policy changes, including border security measures. House Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed a two-step continuing resolution to extend funding temporarily, but this plan has met with resistance from both parties. Democrats are largely against the proposed cuts, while some Republicans feel the measures do not go far enough. This internal strife has led to a paralysis in decision-making, increasing the likelihood of a shutdown. The Senate, on the other hand, is considering a bipartisan approach to keep the government funded, but any solution would still need House approval. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges in budget negotiations and the potential for significant disruptions in government services if no agreement is reached.
