Republican House introduces short-term funding extension to Dec 3 to avert government shutdown.

The Republican-led House has introduced a short-term funding measure to avert a government shutdown, extending current funding levels until December 3rd. This "stopgap" plan aims to give lawmakers more time to negotiate a comprehensive budget. However, it may encounter challenges in the Democratic-controlled Senate and could face amendments. If not approved, the government risks shutting down on October 1st, affecting non-essential services and federal employee furloughs.
