"Lawmakers Rush to Extend Government Shutdown Deadline Amid Budget Impasses"
TL;DR
Congress is set to pass a short-term funding extension to avert a government shutdown before the Friday deadline, with the Senate and House expected to approve the measure. This extension will set up new funding deadlines in March, providing more time for full-year appropriations bills to be negotiated and passed. Additionally, Senate negotiators are working on a deal for border security that could unlock aid to Ukraine and Israel, but its fate in the House remains uncertain as some Republicans are skeptical of the potential compromise.
