Bloomberg News reports:
US lawmakers released a stopgap spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown on Jan. 20, greatly reducing the chances of a closure but risking conservative Republican ire against House Speaker Mike Johnson. The temporary spending bill would extend funds for some agencies that face a Jan. 20 deadline through March 1 and for others that face a Feb. 2 deadline through March. 8.
The Senate will begin procedural votes on the bill, known as a continuing resolution, on Tuesday and will require cooperation among the 100 senators to pass it before the deadline. While the bill preserves a bifurcated approach to the 12 annual spending bills favored by Johnson as a way to avoid a catch-all package, or omnibus, it violates the speaker’s pledge in November to refuse to support any more temporary funding.

ON THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN CALL — @SpeakerJohnson says that with Hal rogers and Scalise out, the majority is slimmer than ever.

To the media: After “Speaker” Johnson admitted that he doesn’t want to pass border funding because Joe Biden is president, PLEASE stop saying the issue of border security is Democrats’ or President Biden’s fault. There are no both-sides. House Republicans simply do not care.
