Washington Post: “With less than a week to go before a March 14 shutdown deadline, President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) are pushing for a bill that would extend current funding levels until the end of the fiscal year in late September.”
“The measure unveiled Saturday, known as a continuing resolution, or CR, would stave off a politically costly shutdown if it passes.”
“But it would also mean that Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress and the White House, would largely keep funding set by President Joe Biden last year, rather than allow the appropriations committees to set new spending levels — hardly the win they were hoping for.”
NOTUS: “The bill, which is 99 pages long, isn’t exactly a straight extension of current funding. Throughout the legislation, hundreds of line-items get different amounts than their current appropriation — some more and some less. Overall, the legislation reduces spending by $8 billion, though it doesn’t codify any of the cuts made by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.”
Axios: House Republicans release 100-page spending bill to prevent shutdown.
