Overview

• White House officials confirmed Trump will host John Thune, Chuck Schumer, Mike Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries at the Oval Office on Monday.
• Funding for many agencies expires after midnight Tuesday, and a shutdown would begin at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday absent a deal.
• A House-passed GOP stopgap failed in the Senate as Democrats press for a permanent extension of ACA subsidies and a reversal of recent Medicaid cuts.
• Republicans favor a largely status‑quo seven‑week extension and have rejected making health policy changes part of the immediate funding measure.
• OMB directed agencies to prepare reduction‑in‑force plans if funding lapses, drawing Democratic criticism, while GOP senators push auto‑renewal proposals to prevent future shutdowns that Democrats warn could lock in spending and expand White House sway.
