Budget Cliff Pushes House to Finish Spending Bills Before Recess

With the Jan. 30 funding deadline looming, House Republicans are racing to complete four remaining spending bills (Defense, Transportation-HUD, Labor-HHS-Education, Homeland Security) and may cancel the January recess to avoid a stopgap. The Senate plans a swift, one-week push to wrap all six bills in a final package, but Homeland Security talks linger over immigration policy. The coalition faces additional pressure from debates over Obamacare subsidies, tariff extensions, potential U.S. action on Greenland, and a stalled crypto bill, all adding to the urgency as leadership on both sides negotiates how to finish funding this month.
