  • A seven-month funding patch released by House Republicans Saturday would add billions of dollars in spending for deportations, veterans' health care and the military while cutting an even greater amount of funding for non-defense programs.

The article from MSN discusses a temporary funding measure passed by House Republicans to avoid a government shutdown. This measure, known as a continuing resolution (CR), extends funding for certain government operations until October 31, 2023. It prioritizes funding for defense and border security, including an increase in spending for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to support more deportations. However, this CR cuts funding for other federal programs, particularly those related to agriculture, rural development, and the Food and Drug Administration. This approach reflects the GOP's focus on national security and immigration enforcement over other domestic spending, setting the stage for potential conflicts with Democrats who might oppose these cuts and the lack of funding for Ukraine aid. The bill's passage in the House was contentious, with significant opposition from both parties, highlighting the ongoing political divide on budget priorities.
