  • Speaker Mike Johnson will attempt to hold the fractious Republican majority together and muscle the 100-page bill through the House on Tuesday.

The article from MSN discusses a new legislative proposal in the U.S. House of Representatives aimed at preventing a government shutdown. This bill, backed by former President Donald Trump, seeks to extend federal funding for an additional 30 days, pushing the deadline to November 17, 2023. The proposal includes an 8% cut in discretionary spending for most federal agencies, excluding defense, veterans' affairs, and disaster relief, which would remain untouched. This measure is part of a broader strategy by House Republicans to reduce government spending. The bill also incorporates elements of border security, reflecting Trump's influence, although it faces opposition from some Democrats and even some Republicans due to the spending cuts and the political implications of aligning with Trump's policies. The urgency of passing this bill is underscored by the looming deadline to keep government operations funded.
