  • To avert a shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson has proposed a stopgap bill to maintain current federal spending levels through September.

Donald Trump has urged Republicans in Congress to withhold support for government funding unless Democrats agree to substantial border security measures, including what he describes as the "STRONGEST & TOUGHEST" border policies. This demand comes as the U.S. government faces a potential shutdown with a deadline to pass a funding bill by November 17, 2023. Trump's call to action was made via his social media platform, Truth Social, where he emphasized the need for border security, specifically mentioning the construction of a wall, and criticized the current administration's handling of border issues. His statement reflects his ongoing influence within the Republican Party and his focus on immigration as a key political issue.
