House GOP aims for fast-track funding fix as deadline looms

House Republicans plan a quick floor vote on the Senate-passed stopgap continuing resolution to reset the Sept. 30 funding deadline to Dec. 11, potentially under suspension that requires a bipartisan two-thirds majority; Democrats may back the Senate version, and the White House supports the bill, which includes provisions the administration favors. The live updates also note Senate Democrats urging Netanyahu to curb West Bank violence and discuss the political impact of the current U.S. trade actions on November elections.

Senate approves temporary funding to keep the government open into December

The Senate passed a bipartisan continuing-resolution funding bill to keep federal agencies funded through December 11, forcing the House to take action to prevent a shutdown on Oct. 1. The measure blocks finalizing the White House’s plan to let political appointees oversee grant approvals during the stopgap and includes restrictions on new funding for ICE and the Border Patrol, signaling a December clash over grants and immigration policy. The White House supports the Senate plan, while the House already passed its own stopgap, which lacks the funding increases requested by the administration.

Senate approves temporary funding extension to avert government shutdown ahead of midterms

The Senate approved a funding extension through December 11 to avert a government shutdown ahead of the midterm elections, sending the measure to a House whose support is uncertain. The Senate bill differs from the House’s version by excluding ICE/CBP funding and blocking a proposed administration grants-rule change. In related moves, the chamber also confirmed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and rejected a voter ID measure, while Republicans signaled they will revisit a broader budget and elections package after the August recess, amid continued push from Trump.

Thune stalls SAVE America Act to keep government funded ahead of shutdown

Senate Majority Leader John Thune delays action on the SAVE America Act to prioritize a continuing resolution that would keep the government funded, arguing the Senate can’t count to 50 on a budget resolution yet. House Republicans have pushed a reconciliation framework that could include parts of SAVE, but GOP divisions persist over whether to advance both priorities at once, with ongoing negotiations ahead of the midterms.

Congress Fractures as Funding Talks Stall and Shutdown Looms

Republicans in the House and Senate are mired in internal fights over a summer funding plan, with the House pushing a stopgap bill and partisan add-ons while Democrats resist, raising the risk of a government shutdown before the midterms. The filibuster remains a sticking point, and Trump’s push on voter-ID legislation deepens divisions as lawmakers race to avert a funding gap with a two-month window before August recess.

White House presses for exceptions in stopgap as Congress races toward shutdown deadline

The White House has sent Congress a list of funding “anomalies”—specific exceptions it wants included in any stopgap bill before the Sept. 30 shutdown—to boost military health, national security systems, parks operations, and FEMA disaster spending. House Republicans are pressing a clean stopgap through Dec. 4 that excludes these anomalies, while Senate leaders weigh a patch that could incorporate some of them. Beyond funding, lawmakers are also grappling with Iran-war funding, budget reconciliation prospects, and a flurry of intra‑party and cross‑chamber negotiations as summer recess approaches.

Homan Deflects Blame Over Delayed ICE Body Cameras Amid Fatal Shootings

Tom Homan blamed Democrats for delaying ICE body-worn cameras after Congress funded the program, saying deployment should proceed now that the budget passed; DHS says cameras were ordered but rollout was slowed by the government shutdown, a point echoed by Sen. Susan Collins. The piece notes at least nine people have been killed by immigration-enforcement officers since Trump began mass deportations, including two deaths in the last week.

Fed workers pause 250th celebrations as burnout and job strain loom

As the U.S. marks its 250th anniversary with lavish celebrations, more than two million federal workers nationwide face burnout, job insecurity, and heavy workloads after a sweeping government overhaul under the Trump administration, including downsizing and widespread reassignments. Many employees—from FEMA to Social Security to TSA—are opting out of patriotic displays, citing loss of morale, pay disruptions from shutdowns, and a sense that public service has suffered under the current era of cuts and political turmoil.

Data Center Bill Targets Grid Costs as FISA Extension Talks Loom

Capitol Hill remains focused on energy and security policy: Guthrie backs a Ratepayer Protection Act to make large electricity users, including data centers, cover the full infrastructure costs, while separate headlines cover Trump’s push for a short-term FISA extension and the ongoing debate over a permanent DNI, a House Oversight probe seeking testimony from acting A.G. Blanche on Epstein materials, and looming shutdown risks tied to immigration funding.
