TL;DR

Congress faces two looming government shutdown deadlines in January and February, with a deal on top-line spending numbers announced but more work remaining to avert a shutdown. Bipartisan negotiations over border security measures complicate efforts to pass aid for Ukraine and Israel, with House Republicans demanding a hardline immigration bill and threatening a government shutdown if their demands aren't met. House Speaker Mike Johnson faces tough vote math and narrow margin, with additional challenges including GOP impeachment inquiries into President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
