  Facing intense pressure of the federal government potentially shutting down within days and disaster aid coffers that need replenishment, lawmakers are racing to cobble together a temporary government funding plan after President-elect Donald Trump torpedoed their last package on Wednesday.

The article from CNN, published on December 19, 2024, discusses the looming threat of a government shutdown as Congress struggles to pass a spending bill before the deadline. Key points include the ongoing debate over disaster aid funding, with disagreements between Democrats and Republicans on how much should be allocated and where the funds should come from. House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed cautious optimism about reaching a deal, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has highlighted significant hurdles, particularly around the inclusion of aid for Ukraine and Israel. The article also mentions the potential economic repercussions of a shutdown, including delays in federal services, unpaid federal workers, and disruptions to various government programs. Additionally, there's mention of a bipartisan push to include emergency funding for recent natural disasters, but this has become entangled with broader budget negotiations, complicating the legislative process.
