  • Senate Democrats have vowed to shut down the federal government rather than support a House-approved budget resolution to avert a pending government shutdown at the end of the day Friday.

The article discusses the looming threat of a government shutdown as Senate Democrats have declared they will not support the budget bill passed by the House of Representatives. The House bill, which includes significant spending cuts and conservative policy changes, is seen by Democrats as too extreme and not reflective of a bipartisan approach. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticized the House for sending over what he calls a "partisan wish list" rather than a serious budget proposal. With the deadline to fund the government fast approaching, the lack of agreement could lead to a shutdown, affecting federal services and employees. The Senate is considering a continuing resolution to keep the government funded at current levels, but this too faces opposition from House Republicans who are pushing for their version of the budget.
