• Funding lapses at 12:01 a.m. ET Wednesday without a deal, triggering a partial shutdown.
• A House-passed continuing resolution would extend current funding through Nov. 21, and the Senate plans a Tuesday vote requiring 60 votes to advance.
• Senate Democrats insist on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits and reversing recent Medicaid cuts before backing any stopgap.
• Republican leaders argue health policy should be debated later and say Democrats must supply votes to keep the government open.
• The Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to prepare furloughs and potential reduction-in-force plans as both sides intensify public blame over the standoff.
