Overview

  • House Republican leaders released a 91-page continuing resolution to keep agencies funded at current levels through Nov. 21.
  • The bill adds roughly $88 million for security, including $30 million for lawmakers and $58 million for executive and judicial protection after recent political violence.
  • Leaders plan a House vote by Friday, but Republicans can spare only two defections if Democrats oppose it, with Reps. Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Victoria Spartz and Warren Davidson signaling no votes.
  • Senate and House Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries declared unified opposition over health care, pushing to extend enhanced ACA subsidies and reverse recent Medicaid cuts.
  • Any measure must reach 60 votes in the Senate to avert a lapse on Oct. 1; President Trump is urging Republicans to back a “clean” CR as CBO projections show millions more could become uninsured if subsidies expire.
