Overview

• The Republican-led House passed a seven-week "clean" continuing resolution, which now needs at least some Democratic support to clear the 60-vote Senate threshold.
• President Trump will meet Monday with Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, John Thune and Mike Johnson after canceling an earlier session, with funding set to lapse Wednesday.
• Democrats insist the stopgap include extended ACA premium tax credits and a reversal of recent Medicaid cuts, while Republicans push to pass the bill without policy changes.
• The Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to prepare reduction-in-force plans in addition to standard furloughs, signaling potential broader workforce cuts if funding lapses.
• If no agreement is reached by Tuesday night, nonessential operations would pause and thousands of federal employees would be sidelined, though Social Security, Medicare, air traffic control and mail would continue.
