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 weighs delaying Trump's grant-change plan as funding stopgap moves forward

Senate leaders are negotiating a bipartisan stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown, with Democrats pressing to block President Trump’s plan to replace the grant peer-review process with political appointees. Senators Collins and Murkowski have signaled opposition to the administration’s grant-change proposal, while Majority Leader Thune hopes to advance the package soon.

House Advances Stopgap Funding to Avert Shutdown Through December 4

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown through December 4 by a 220-205 vote and sent it to the Senate, where bipartisan support is uncertain; with funding authority due to lapse September 30, Republicans argue the measure prevents Democratic obstruction, while Democrats criticized it as hastily conceived and lacking reforms, underscoring ongoing negotiations ahead of the midterm elections.

Senate plans a stopgap funding vote before August recess amid bipartisan talks

Senate Majority Leader Thune said he’ll bring a short-term stopgap funding bill to the floor before the August break to keep the government funded through the midterms, signaling a push for a bipartisan deal with Democrats and the White House while leaving open a party-line reconciliation route if talks stall. House leaders cleared procedural steps for a similar stopgap through December and a reconciliation framework for a $95 billion package; the week’s updates also cover Cruz’s AI billMarkup prospects, defense bill progress in the House, and leadership changes after Lindsey Graham’s death.

Johnson bets on a handful of holdouts to unlock the GOP agenda

House Republicans race to push a crowded agenda this week, leaning on a small number of holdouts to shepherd votes on a procedural rule, a stopgap funding bill through the midterms, and the must-pass defense policy bill with a reconciliation framework and offsets; some conservatives plan to back the rule while others, including Massie and Davidson, plan to vote no or remain undecided, as Democrats oppose the stopgap without clear pay-fors and the White House pressures the funding and Iran policy dynamics.
