  • After a Republican revolt led by Elon Musk and Donald Trump torpedoed a plan to fund the government, a new path forward remains unclear as Congress lurches toward Friday night's deadline.

The House GOP has reached a new agreement on a funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, as reported by MSN. This deal, which emerged after weeks of internal party disputes, aims to extend federal funding for an additional 30 days, pushing the deadline to March 8, 2024. The agreement includes a 1% cut in overall spending, with exceptions for defense and veterans' affairs. This compromise was necessary to appease both the conservative wing of the party, which demanded significant spending reductions, and the more moderate members who were concerned about the impact of deep cuts on essential services. The bill now needs to pass through both the House and the Senate before the current funding expires, highlighting the urgency and the political maneuvering involved in averting a shutdown.
