Federal government funding is set to run out on Oct. 1. If Congress doesn’t reach an agreement, a partial federal government shutdown will occur.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that he has struck a deal with the White House and top democratic leaders that will keep the government funded at current levels through Dec. 20. The bill would also provide more funding for the Secret Service. Notably, the bill doesn’t include a provision that would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Stay tuned.
