Congress deadlocked over healthcare subsidies and spending bill
1.
The United States government is approaching a potential shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday if Congress fails to pass funding legislation. The impasse centers on a House-passed measure that would extend federal funding for seven weeks while lawmakers complete annual spending bills. Senate Democrats have indicated they will not support the legislation without an extension of expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, while Republicans advocate for passing the funding bill without additional provisions.
