In an attempt to avoid a government shutdown, House Republicans have negotiated a stopgap funding bill that will move on to the Senate. What key features does this bill include?
The stopgap funding bill negotiated by House Republicans includes a 1% cut in federal spending for all agencies, excluding the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
