<h1>House Republicans Push Funding Bill Without Democratic Support, Risking Government Shutdown as Deadline Nears</h1> House Republicans are attempting to pass a government funding bill independently, without Democratic support, as the shutdown deadline approaches. The proposed continuing resolution would maintain federal funding at 2024 levels until September 30. This strategy, backed by President Donald Trump, challenges Senate Democrats to either accept the bill or risk a shutdown. Republicans aim to focus on extending tax cuts and addressing the debt ceiling. Democrats warn that bypassing bipartisan negotiations could lead to service cuts and a shutdown. With a slim majority, Republicans face a challenging path in both the House and Senate to secure passage.
