"Congressional Leaders Reach Bipartisan Deal to Avoid Government Shutdown"

Congressional leaders have reached a bipartisan agreement to avert a partial government shutdown by extending the deadline for funding the government through March 8 for six spending bills and March 22 for the remaining six. This move comes after struggles to meet previous deadlines due to policy disputes and logistical challenges. President Biden has emphasized the need to avoid a shutdown and provide aid to Ukraine, while some lawmakers are considering leveraging automatic cuts to control government spending.

"Government Funding Leverage: GOP Fears Loom as House Heads Toward 'Nuclear' War"

House Speaker Mike Johnson is working to pass the first four spending bills to avoid a government shutdown next week, but he expressed concern about disunity among House Republicans giving leverage to Democrats. He aims to secure GOP priorities in the bills but faces challenges due to the need for overwhelming support from Democrats and disagreements within his party. Johnson is optimistic about meeting the deadline but acknowledges the possibility of a partial government shutdown. Negotiations are ongoing, with a potential short-term funding extension being considered to buy more time for discussions on the remaining spending bills.
