  • The Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives plan to vote on Tuesday on a six-month stopgap funding bill to fund the government through October 31, when the current 2025 fiscal year ends.

The article from MSN discusses the key components of a new six-month stopgap funding bill proposed by House Republicans. This bill aims to extend federal funding through early 2024, avoiding a government shutdown. It includes significant spending cuts, reducing non-defense, non-veterans, and non-disaster spending by approximately 8% from current levels. Additionally, the bill incorporates conservative policy changes such as stricter border security measures, including the construction of a border wall, and restrictions on immigration parole. It also proposes to establish a bipartisan debt commission to address the national debt. However, this proposal has met with resistance from Democrats and the White House, who argue that the cuts would negatively impact essential services and programs, and they are pushing for a "clean" continuing resolution without the attached policy changes.
