House Republicans Secure Short-Term Funding Deal to Avert Government Shutdown

House Republicans have released a short-term bill to avert a government shutdown until October 31, pairing it with a conservative border security measure. The bill includes cuts to domestic spending, but is expected to face opposition in the Democratic-led Senate. It also does not address priorities such as Ukraine aid or disaster relief. The legislation has been criticized by Democrats for its extreme measures and failure to work on bipartisan solutions. It remains uncertain whether the bill will garner enough votes to pass the House.
