<h1>Federal funding suspended after five days amid political impasse; disputes over 31 U.S.C. § 1341, rescissions, and furloughs</h1> Federal funding remains suspended after five days due to a political impasse over renewal of health-subsidy appropriations and overall spending levels, with the executive branch threatening permanent job cuts and using 'pocket rescissions' to withhold previously approved foreign-aid funds. Congress has been unable to secure cloture in the Senate; the House plans to pause legislative business, potentially forcing the Senate to consider a House-passed continuing resolution. Legal issues include potential limits on executive rescission authority, obligations to pay or reinstate furloughed federal employees, and whether unilateral personnel cuts or refusal to honor congressional spending priorities would violate appropriation and employment law.
