flag Republicans pass a short-term bill to avoid shutdown, but Democrats oppose it without health care fixes.

flag House Republicans have introduced a seven-week spending bill to fund federal agencies until November 21, adding $58 million for security of government officials. flag The measure aims to prevent a government shutdown ahead of the September 30 deadline, but Democrats warn of a shutdown if the bill passes without addressing expiring health care subsidies and Medicaid changes. flag While Republicans can likely pass the bill in the House, Senate approval requires 60 votes, and Democrats demand broader negotiations. flag The House is expected to vote by Friday, with the Senate set to consider the bill afterward.
