Government Shutdown Unlikely Until January

The government has passed a continuing resolution to fund the government into January, avoiding a shutdown threat over the holidays. Some key appropriations bills will need to be negotiated in January, such as the Agriculture Bill, Energy Bill, Milcon, and A Bill. The more challenging appropriations bills, including defense, labor, HHS, homeland, immigration, interior, and environment, will be dealt with by February.
