Government shutdown threat eases after House passes a temporary funding plan, sending it to Senate

30. Whenever they do these C.R.s

they always tend to do them to end right before a holiday in order to "light a fire" under them to get something done by then. They will often do another short term one that goes to just before Christmas if they're not quite there yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if something got passed to keep FY2024 spending at FY2023 levels (outside of stuff that might have already been approved for increases through other bills), but we shall see.

They really should keep it at what was already agreed to by Biden and Democrats after that ridiculous "debt ceiling" nonsense because that law set a top line number and Democrats had pretty much worked out, and were able to work stuff to keep spending within that.

It's the MAGats in the House that wanted to do ridiculous draconian cuts to even that.
