Deep dives
House Republicans disagree on plan to fund government
House Republicans are divided on a proposed plan to fund the government, with some opposing the clean continuing resolution (CR) put forward by Speaker Mike Johnson. The plan involves a lattered CR, extending funding for certain services until January 19th and the rest of the government until February 2nd. However, at least three House Republicans have already announced their opposition to the bill, citing concerns about the lack of spending cuts. If Republicans cannot secure enough support within their own party, they may need to seek Democratic assistance to pass the bill.
